Job Application and Resume Writing

Format of a Résumé

Although the templates of résumés vary from profession to profession, we will discuss the most widely accepted format here, which consists of −

• Name− Full name of the applicant without general salutations like Mr., Ms.
• Address− the permanent address
• Objective− the aim of your professional life
• Education− your academic qualification
• Skills− areas of expertise in your profession
• Programming Languages− if any
• Software Tools− Software tools you use in your profession (MS Word, Excel)
• Operating System Platforms− operating system you use (Windows, Mac)
• Database Management System− if any
• Personal Skills− soft skills
• Experience Breakdown− detailed explanation of your experience
• Achievements & Interests− Hobbies. Achievements in professional life
• Declaration− stating all information provided about the applicant as true

NOTE − Fields marked (e, f, i) will change as per applicant’s area of expertise. Points (g, h) are considered parts of a general template now, as almost all the companies now expect the candidate to have basic computer proficiency on some specific software tool (MS Word, MS Excel, etc…).
