The resume of a person, in its essence, should be an apt description of anyone who aims to apply for

a job. It should be well-designed and precise. The most basic rule to nail a resume is to keep in
mind the job position one is applying for, and the job level. Also, ideally speaking, one can design
different resumes for different jobs, wherein, one can easily render a good impression more
effectively.

First thing is to avoid committing any mistakes in the structure, at least. In the Introduction field,
the Name should be clearly mentioned, since, in an interview, the employer shouldn't have a hard
time finding one's name. Next, contact details, especially the e-mail should be clearly mentioned,
for the sake of avoiding any inconvenience in contact.

The next field is one's career objective. In a nutshell, it should answer these questions:
1. Who am I?
2: What I want to achieve?
3: How I make your company successful?
It's better to write an objective keeping in mind the job description. since it gets easier for the
recruiter to judge and relate things accordingly. One should write it keeping in mind their profile,
experience and educational background.

The next question lies in what should one mention next. Should it be one's academic background or
experience? Well, it generally depends on the job description and what the employer is looking for.
If it's an entry-level job, one should mention their academic background first, since one doesn't have
much experience anyway. Similarly, job experience should be mentioned first, if it's a job where
experience is given leverage over the educational background, and if one has more experience
anyway.

Speaking about academic background, it should be in the order from the most recent to oldest. It
can be written in tabular form or in bullets. Answering the question about whether to mention your
Grades/CGPA or not? Again, it depends on the level of job you're applying for. If experience is
preferred over academics, one can let go of the grades, and focus more on explaining their
experience, but if it's an entry-level job, mentioning grades can be important. Again, if in doubt, one
can let it go and if one gets lucky by receiving an interview call, there is a better chance for one to
defend why they didn't perform well. But it any case, if you've got it [good grades], flaunt it.

In the job experience field, one should mention the precise and elaborate introduction of the
company one previously worked in and a brief description of their previous job position(s). One
should also mention the time period of the job, and the skills acquired whilst working at the said job
position.

The next field involves writing about the project(s) one has worked on. Here, one should briefly
explain the description of each project, its effectiveness, and ones responsibility in the said project.
If there are multiple projects, one should mention the most-effective one first, and so on.

After this, there is a field of technical skills. Here, one has to mention all the technical skills they
have acquired during their education or their previous job experience. E.g, Someone coming from a
Software Engineering background has to mention the programming languages they have worked on,
and are good at, etc. Similarly, one can also make another field for mentioning their soft skills, e.g,
Effective time management, good decision-making abilities, etc.

Lastly, one should give a brief but reputable list of their awards and achievements through their
educational, as well as professional life.
Different people have different ways of describing their skills whilst writing a resume, so there's no
generic method of writing one. What works for someone might not necessarily work for some other
person. The rule is to get all the aforementioned basics right, and to keep it decent; neither too
overwhelming nor too mediocre.
