You get only 10 seconds to impress an interviewer through your resume. This is where your interview begins and believe me - interviewer may decide not to shortlist you before even meeting you.
Few wrong steps you are not supposed to follow during resume preparation are:
- Including your Father's name in Personal Details.
- Using different font styles.
- Using decorations.
- Adding bold fonts for the keywords.
- Inserting heading as "Resume" instead of your name.
- Missing objectives.
- Mentioning salary in your resume.
- Adding hobbies though you are experienced and so on..
The following should be included in your resume:
- Always start with an objective or summary.
- Specify the position you are looking for in the "Objective" and things that you promise to deliver as an employee to the company.
- Then include your professional summary - for instance - Working as Software Testing Engineer in "XYZ" company, since "YEAR". Always start with your recent company and then mention your previous company.
- You can also include stuff like :- 1) Looked after SQA and testing independently, 2) Followed industry standard practices etc,.
- Following this always include your strengths like: 1) Played a major role in Testing and Test planning, 2) Well versed in understanding requirement specs and so on.
- Once you are done with this, its time to specify what type of technology you have worked with.
- Then include projects you have worked with. A brief description of that project, time span, team size and roles and responsibilities. Always start with recent projects in descending order. Add maximum 3 projects and rest you can explain verbally.
- Finally include your personal details. If you have a passport then add passport number as well.
