- The résumé is a very critical document and a marketing tool that will introduce you to your potential employers. Clichéd as it may sound, the résumé creates the all important “first impression”. The résumé gets you through the initial screening and to the interview step. The resume can enhance and support a strong interview. The resume becomes the foundation on which you can build your future career story

- 1. How to make company specific resume? Is elevator pitch for a resume necessary? Ans. Depending on which broad category the company falls into - IT services/FMCGs/consulting, etc. highlight your skill sets. For instance, if you are planning to apply to a consulting company, your people's skills, leadership skills (if you have been part of an organising committee, or introduced/devised something new during college fest, etc.) should be highlighted. If you are applying to an IT services company, highlight your programming skills. If it is an R&D role your are looking at, your project work and the impact it has had should be highlighted. 2. is it we have to specify our weakness in RESUME? Ans. No 3. Some of the guys have a lot of extracurricular activities while some have a lot of internships. So it is obvious that there resumes will be awesome in one or the other way. But my doubt is that how to make resumes of those guys attractive, who have either low no. of extracurricular activities or low no. of internships. What should be the various ideas that should be presented in the resumes to make it attractive? Ans. It is difficult to make a resume attractive without neither a good CPI, nor extarcurriculars or internships. If you did deep enough you will find that you are good at something. Highlight that. 4. 1.) what things we should include and what should be excluded ? Ans. Very generic question. Skills that are relevant to the companies you are applying to. Do not clutter the resume with every little activity you have been involved in, instead talk about things that you consider important and things that have a potential to have an impact. 2.) what makes our resume effective? Ans. Clarity of thought, relevance of projects undertaken/work done, and ability to sell yourself through what you have accomplished or achieved. 3.) what things should be taken care when we are preparing a tech and nontech resume ? Ans. In non-tech resumes highlight your analytical skills, leadership qualities, your people's skills, ability to work in a team, ability to take initiatives. In tech resumes highlight internship, project work, and course work. 4.) what is the way to arrange the things in resume and what matter we should include in particular column like extracurricular activities if we are having very limited space? Ans. Depending on whether it is a tech or a non-tech resume you can choose to cut down on or highlight the extracurricular section. Normally extracurriculars that mention a hobby or sports are mentioned towards the end while those that involved organising an event such as the tech-fest would be featured somewhere towards the start. Do not ignore extracurriculars especially if you are applying to a noncore industry. 5. What is the difference between nontechnical resume and technical resume? Ans. This nomenclature is an IIT specific nomenclature. Technical resumes target core industries while non-technical resumes target non-core industries. In the former research work, projects, internships, get precedence while in the latter internships, people's skills, team participation, ability to organise, lead, etc. get precedence. How resume is more attractive to a company? Ans. Depends on the skill sets the company is looking for in a candidate. A Google would want you to communicate well, be a team player as well as a leader and an innovator. 6. How do i portray myself as a person capable of RnD and Management both in the same resume. Ans. Make separate sections highlighting both management skills and research oriented aptitude. Also add a section called a profile summary that captures both these attributes. 7.Will this resume making workshop will focus on both Tech and nonTech resume or on any one of them?Then which one? Ans. Both 8. What are DO's and DONT's in a resume? Ans. We have covered them in the workshop. 9.What type of info can we highlight especially when our CPI is low ? Do companies always measure brightness in terms of CPI ? Ans. Unfortunately many do, but you can overcome this weakness by highlighting activities you are good at. If you have led a team of people to winning a competition, you should talk about that. If you have good negotiating skills, e.g. if you have been able to rope in sponsorships for an event; convince a professor into starting a new project, etc. highlight them. 10. The prospects of getting selected in sector in which we are not pursuing our Research/Project? Ans. Would completely depend on how you present yourself through your resume; which of your skills sets you choose to highlight. 11. Can different colors be used in a resume? For example, recent tools and subjects learnt in green where as others in default black color. Ans. Best to avoid colors. Order in terms of importance. 13. W need to have attached cover letter with our resume? If yes then we should attach it with in same pdf, word file or it should be attached in separate file?? Ans. Separate file unless specified otherwise. 14. I am a M.Sc.-PhD student. However, in MSc I have done all the technical courses what MTech in Energy students are doing. Still my profile says that I am a science student which may not be suitable for industry (Industry peoples point of view). So, how to make it possible to make them understand that I have also technical knowledge as MTechs. This is a serious issue. Ans. A profile summary with your experiences where you use two to three bullets can capture your technical knowledge effectively. 15.Are non academic activities too crucial? Ans. Yes. They can be effectively used to highlight your leadership and people,skills. 16. Does the long CV (More than 2 pages) really makes any difference? Ans. Not unless you are targeting an R&D industry where you need to mention your dissertations at length. 17. Though I am mainly interested in core I might later want to apply for IT companies too, how do I modify my resume then? Ans. All you would need to do is give more importance to your IT-related skills. 18. may i know about the striking features which the HR's look for a candidate while considering him for a Marketing job? Ans. Communications skills, analytical skills and people's skills 19. How to include international publications into resume? Ans. If you have both national and international publications, list them out separately. If you do not have enough to make a list, highlight the label "international publication" in bold. Publications should be the main section and then international and national. 20. How many projects should be mentioned? Ans. Depends on the role you are looking for. If it is R&D or teaching , then as many as possible. If it is other roles, then only the relevant ones to the job. 21. What changes or addition in resume should be there if you are applying in a non core company? Ans. The workshop had a section on non-core. Highlight leadership roles, activities in which you were a team player, successful negotiator, etc. 22. What exactly we should project in resumes... technical skills or interpersonal skills? Ans. Both, but depending on the companies you are applying to assign more importance to technical and interpersonal skills. Some keywords that make resume attractive? Look at the keywords that the company looks for. For example a core resume focused on r&d positions should talk about design of experiments, data analysis, product development and a non core should focus on analytical skills, intellectual capability, teamwork. 23. What all should be in a good objective?? Ans. An objective should convey your career vision in a simple yet effective manner. 24. How to create 1 page Resume? Ans. Include main sections such as an 1. Objective/profile summary 2. Professional/internship experience 3. Academic accomplishments 4. Publications/Computer skills 5. Extracurriculars 25. Do examiners really look at the resume? Which parts are important? Considering that the examiner might not have the background about domain of my work, how to decide the contents while explaining about Master's Project in Resume? Ans. I think you meant interviewer. Yes, they do. Every part is important. 26. How to express the 'Objective' part? should it be 100% serious, down to business, or can it have any informal elements? Your tagline is 'Your MBA success is our mission'. Can you please elaborate on that? Do you specialize particularly in the field of MBA placement? From the point of resume, is there a difference between an MBA candidate and non-MBA one? (Please note that I don't mean to be offensive here. It's just a question out of curiosity). Ans. Yes it should be 100% serious. No, the tagline is actually your success is our success. :)
