    Things to focus on:

    1) Header
    Refer to the below image to understand what exactly the header
    in the resume is.

    Tips
    No photo is required.
    No introduction is required as it is anyway going to be asked in
    an interview.
    Adding location is generally not required unless you are applying
    for an international job.
    Add only professional handles’ links. ( Not links to your Fb/IG
    account )
    No need to underline anything as done below.

    Sample #1:
    Sample #2:

    Would recommend to use a header like this for the following


    reasons:

    1) Your strength is the first thing any recruiter/interviewer


    should see
    - Adding links of your programming/dev profiles where
    you have good ratings or good projects.

    2) Basic contact details are mandatory to have so that the HR


    can reach out to the candidate.

    2) Projects/Internships

    Structure is very important.


    You can follow this kind of a structure where in you write:

    1) What the project is about?


    2) What all features does the project have?
    3)Tech Stack
    4) Link to Github
    5) Deploying it is preferable and you should put a link for that. If you
    don’t have one, Github link is fine. (could also include a recorded
    demo link of the website if not hosted currently).

    6) If the project is simple, you can add unit tests/ CI CD to the


    project to add points to write about.
    7) If the project is such that quality of work can be quantified,
    don't forget to add that. For example : achieved 96 percent
    accuracy, system now can handle 1000 requests, decreased the
    time by 4 seconds etc.

    8) For web development projects, you can do the following things


    to make it impressive:
    - write tests (unit test, integration test)
    - Use CI/ CD/ GitHub Workflow, running those tests on each
    push/ pull request.
    - Benchmark your website's response time etc (if possible,
    do a load testing)
    - Use functionalities like message queues, microservice
    architecture etc instead of just going with a simple
    monolithic blocking web app.
    - Use design patterns wherever possible.

    Samples:
    #1
    #2

    ^Make the ‘Languages/Libraries’ part bold.

    Internship Sample:

    Try to add some uniqueness to your market to make it stand


    out. It can be a very simple tweak to an existing famous project
    or you could solve a daily life problem around you with the help
    of technology.

    3) Academic Achievements
    Whenever you are writing about any academic
    achievement,be it a coding contest or a hackathon
    performance, do mention the number of participants too.

    How people usually write:


    Finished second in College X’s annual coding event.

    How it should be:


    Ranked 2/1054 in a PAN India coding contest by College X.

    If you have multiple contest performances to highlight, put the


    name of the platform as the heading and list all the contests
    below it.

    Sample:
    Codechef- 6* star rated 2134
    September Long Challenge’19: Global Rank 100/3400
    March Lunchtime Challenge’20: Global Rank 121/4500

    LeetCode rated 2231


    Bi-Weekly Contest #25 - Global rank 100/12100
    Weekly Contest #534: Achieved a global rank of 134/9000
    Note: Follow the highlighting as done in the sample text.

    Also, any interviewer will relate to platforms/contests that are


    well known rather than some inter or intra college event.
    So try to perform well in contests on CF, Codechef, Leetcode
    or Google Kickstart or Hackercup.
    For hackathons, smart India/ASEAN hackathon.

    4) SKILLS
    - Clearly separate and mention your proficient skills
    and non-proficient ones.

    Sample #2:

    Additional Tips:
    1) Tailor your resume according to the roles. Don't add
    information about internships/ projects which is not
    related to the role you're applying for.
    2) Try to add keywords that are mentioned in the Job
    Description in order to improve your chances of
    shortlisting.
    3) You can choose a template from overleaf.com (eg
    Deedy Resume)
    4) Restrict your resume to 1 PAGE.
