Resume Tips for freshers Dos and Donts

Little things like updating your CV and applying for jobs that meets your requirements will fetch you better results, writes T Muralidharan, Managing Director, TMI e2E Academy.


Life for any fresher is challenging.

And for those freshers who missed the 'campus placement' bus, life could seem quite bleak. In this article, we talk about the time-tested rules that help freshers hunting for jobs online.

The internet has become a one-stop-shop for all information. So freshers must upload their resumes in cyberspace and adopt an online job search strategy.

You may visit multiple job boards (Naukri, Monster and TimesJobs) with dedicated pages for freshers or websites of special interest to freshers (freshersworld, walkinjobstoday).

You must also have a proper e-mail ID so that you can send soft copies of your resume via e-mail to companies. Sometimes companies -- especially in the IT industry -- have their own format for filling information on their websites.

They ask for the same information in your resume (contact details, school and college, extra-curricular activities, etc). There is also the option of uploading your profile on a professional website like LinkedIn.

But locating online job postings is merely one part of the story. The real trick is in putting your best foot forward and understanding what to avoid in cyberspace.
