FAQ
Fresher resume questions
What should a fresher put on a resume?
Contact details, a short objective, education, internships or training, projects, skills and certifications. Awards, hackathons and languages help too.
What is the best resume format for freshers?
A one-page, single-column format with Education near the top, followed by projects and internships. The fresher example here uses exactly that order.
Should I include class 10 and 12 marks?
Many Indian employers and campus drives ask for them, so include them for your first job. Drop them once you have a degree and some experience.
Do I need a photo on my resume?
No. Most employers don't want one, and photos can confuse applicant tracking systems. Add one only if the job posting asks.
How do I write a resume with no experience?
Use projects, internships, college roles, volunteering and coursework as your experience. Describe what you did and what changed, with a number where possible.
