How to write a resume that gets shortlisted
A recruiter usually skims a resume before reading it. Make the parts they look for easy to find, and back up what you say with facts.
1. Contact details
Put your full name at the top, then one line with your city, phone number and an email address you check every day. Use a plain email made from your name, not a nickname. Add a LinkedIn or portfolio link only if it is up to date. Your full home address and date of birth are not needed.
2. Summary
Write two or three lines on who you are, what you are good at and the job you want. Name the role and one or two skills from the job post. Freshers can mention their degree and a project or internship; experienced people should lead with years of experience and one result. Skip phrases like “hard-working team player” that every resume has.
3. Experience, with numbers
List jobs and internships with the latest first: job title, company, city and dates. Under each, write two to five points that start with a verb and show a result, such as “Handled 60 customer calls a day”, “Cut stock errors by 15%” or “Trained 4 new joiners”. Numbers make a claim believable and are easy to spot when someone skims.
4. Education
Start with your highest qualification: degree, college, years and your grade if it is good. After a few years of work, the degree alone is enough. Still studying? Write the expected year, such as “2026 (expected)”.
5. Skills
List the tools and skills the job asks for that you can really use, such as Excel, SQL or a second language. Use the exact words from the job post where they are true for you, because recruiters and ATS software search for them. Leave out anything you could not answer interview questions on.
6. Projects, if you are a fresher
With little or no work experience, projects are your proof. Include college and final-year projects, freelance or volunteer work: what you built or did, the tools you used and the result. Add a link to the work (GitHub, a portfolio or a live site) if you have one.

Make your resume ATS-friendly
Many employers and job portals put applications through an applicant tracking system (ATS), which reads the text of your resume. These rules keep it readable:
- Use one column of plain text. Tables, text boxes, photos, icons and skill bars confuse the software. Every resume from this builder follows this rule.
- Use standard headings such as Experience, Education and Skills, so the software knows where each part starts.
- Use the job post's words for skills and job titles where they truthfully describe you.
- Send a PDF made from text, like the ones this builder makes, or a Word file. A scan or a photo of a printed resume cannot be read.
- Write dates the same way everywhere, for example “Jun 2023 – Present”.
- Keep your name and contact details in the main body of the page, not in a header or footer.
