Cover in the First page

You have only one chance , your first page should speak about yourself, it is rare chance if your first page is not so impressive its harder to have a second chance to turn the page though you might have done wonders in the pages to come, so spend lot of time , in editing and compiling the first page

 

  • Always have an Objective as the first point
  • Let your objective be crystal clear as a "Win-Win situation", Your employer should gain by sharing your experience to have a faster turn-around time,with Quality as well as you also gain with Remuneration and Recognition
  • Now comes the important part " Profile Section/Skills"
  • Your Technical Skills , Strengths, Tools,
  • Your Patents, Papers, Certifications
  • Write about your current Employer
  • Your Roles /Designation

Next pages

  • Explain about your projects. Title, Roles, Complexity, Tools/Languages/Protocols used
  • Good Abstract about the project, dont write everything in this , just be short and sweet so that in your interview you have something to share
  • More over write the projects from your latest one to the oldest one, no-body is interested to know what you done ten years ago, and things ,tools, languages, methodologies change so dynamically
  • Write few lines about your complexity of your Role, no stories

Employer history

  • Write about your Employers from latest to the oldest
  • Write your duration
  • Write your Roles,
  • Write your Designation

Certification/Tutorials/Workshops/Conferences

  • List down your Certifications
  • List down your attended Tutorials
  • List down attended Workshops
  • List down attended Conferences

Others

  • Mention your Visas, incase if you have Work-Visas
  • If you are multi-lingual mention it adds value
  • Your interests, let it align with the Objective or goal
