From: Promit Hatikakoty <catchpro...@yahoo.com> Subject: [NorthEastIndia] Freshers & resumes [1 Attachment] To: "catchpro...@yahoo.com" <catchpro...@yahoo.com> Date: Saturday, 25 February, 2012, 9:54 AM [Attachment(s) from Promit Hatikakoty included below] Dear Freshers, Recently I have received lots of ur resumes for openings in our company. But what is disappointing that most of the resumes are not at all up to the mark and can not be forwarded to HR. For eg, resumes does not contain/elaborate about projects done, year of passing, percentage, skill set. I think its time to highlight few points to the aspiring buddies and request you to prepare more useful resumes for ur own benefits. Attached is a resume template u can follow, if u wish to. 1. Resume should be concise, well formatted , but definitely not a designer product. Some resumes received are so colorful, so flushy; it looks like ppt. Avoid it. 2. In Resume, mention ur programming skills, tool knowledge on top. During project description write what tools, programming language used ( a must feed). Also mention year of passing out. ( its imp). Tabular format of data presentation helps. [ avoid long sentences ] 3. Recruiters are more interested knowing ur year of pass out, percentage, skills proficiency, skills used in projects etc rather than ur personal details / hobbies / school captain etc. So project ur skills, strength first...in short give what recruiters want. 4. Resume must be properly named. Not like "Resume_updated.doc" , "CV_Anil(2).doc", "My_Recent_CV.doc" etc. Ur resume name says a lot. Follow a format like "Resume_Anil_BE_2012_C++_70%.doc" , such formats help us too. 5. While forwarding resumes, write mails short (no long mails ) and crisp. Also mention the source of opening info eg: link, mail u have received etc. In a large origination there could be many openings going through simultaneously. Even an employee wont be having all such info. Thus knowing the source of opening info helps us to frw ur resume to specific team. 6. Dont send blank mails too. Atleast spend a minute to write a line. 7. Phone number / email must be correct. Few times I received a follow up mail mentioning updated ph/email. This showcase ur own seriousness. 8. If u get a call for interview from HR, dont forget to inform the person who forwarded the resume. and most importantly prepare well for the interview. Its a worrying point to knw that most freshers dont even have the answers to the basic questions. All the best.
