Being a fresher or a graduate it must be a brain storming activity to make a resume. Difficult also because every resume you come across with on the net shows that the most important aspect in a resume building is your work experience. So getting pins and needles is obvious. So what should one put into a resume when one is a fresher? Here are some answers to your questions which would be helpful to you in crafting a well designed resume: 1. If you have never done this before take help from a website that offers free sample resumes. This will give you an idea of what it should look like, the format, layout etc. 2. Amass all your contact information and make sure it is fully accurate and up to date. If your main email address is frisky then change it straight away. Create a new address that is more applicable to your identity and name if possible. 3. In a few sentences explain personal traits or qualities that are desirable or are special in any way. Positive personality traits like good communication skills or good marketing skills can also be mentioned. 4. If you don't have any work experience then do not trick or lie or create false details. Even if you don't get caught out, you will have started out on your professional life with a lie which is neither honest nor pleasing. 5. Mention your qualifications such as educational background, majors and any other skills you may have. Any academic achievements may not be out of place to mention in the resume. Any school or college projects of significance where performance or contribution above average can be mentioned. 6. Don't ramble and add irrelevant details. Keep it short and pertinent to the job that you are applying for. Don't forget that whatever details mentioned in the resume signify your qualities and what type of an employee you will turn out to be. The Hr managers these days are using automated resume parsing software, so the resume should be designed keeping in mind these points and the job becomes yours!!!
