Start with your name, phone number, email, and location. For LinkedIn, add a custom URL to your profile. Example: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/yourname

2. Objective or Summary

For freshers: Write a concise objective that reflects your career goals and enthusiasm to learn. For experienced: A summary highlighting your years of experience, key skills, and significant achievements.

3. Education

List your degrees in reverse chronological order. Include your NCC involvement under this section if it’s recent or particularly relevant to the job you’re applying for. Example: B.A. in Economics, XYZ University

  • Active member of the National Cadet Corps (NCC), achieved ‘A’ grade in ‘B’ certificate.

4. Work Experience

For experienced professionals: List your jobs with bullet points describing key responsibilities and achievements. For freshers: Include internships, part-time jobs, or volunteer work that demonstrate your skills.

Include a mix of hard and soft skills relevant to the job. If you’re CTET qualified, it’s a valuable skill for teaching roles. Mention it here and in the education or certifications section.

6. Projects

Describe any projects like spring boot, devops, etc., including those done during your education or previous jobs. Start with an action verb, followed by the project’s goal, your role, and the outcome. Quantify results if possible.

8. Additional Sections

  • Leadership & Activities: Mention your NCC experience, roles, and any notable achievements.
  • Volunteering: Showcase any community service or unpaid work that’s relevant to your career goals.

9. Declaration (Optional)

A declaration is not commonly required but if you choose to include one, place it at the end of your resume: “I hereby declare that the information provided is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.”
