Before You Apply

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best resume format for freshers? +

A simple one-page, single-column format. Order: contact details, career objective, education, skills, projects or internships, certifications, achievements and languages. It is easy for recruiters and ATS software to read.

How many pages should a fresher resume be? +

One page. Recruiters spend about 10 seconds on a first look, and one page holds everything a fresher needs. Two pages only make sense if you have several internships and research papers.

Can I download a resume format for freshers in Word? +

Yes. Pick your degree and design, then tap Download blank format (Word). You get a .docx with the right sections and guidance lines that you can fill in Word or Google Docs.

Can I edit this sample with my own details? +

Yes. Tap Edit this resume. The sample opens filled in the Resume Builder, where you change it to your details and check your ATS score. Download PDF + Word for Rs 99 once.

What should a fresher write in a resume with no experience? +

Put projects, internships, part-time work, college activities and certifications. Each point should say what you did and one result, like "Built a library app used by 200 students".

Should freshers write a career objective or a summary? +

Either works if it is specific. Write 2-3 lines: your degree, your top skills and the job you want. Skip lines like "to work in a reputed organisation" that say nothing.

Should I add 10th and 12th marks in my resume? +

Not by default. Your latest degree with year and CGPA or % is enough. Add 12th and 10th only if the job post or the campus form asks for them.

Should a fresher resume have a photo? +

Not for private companies and MNCs in India. Add a photo only when the job ad, a government form or a Gulf employer asks for it.

Which resume format is best for B.Com freshers? +

A one-page format with Tally, GST and Excel near the top, then education, then any internship at a CA firm or shop. Pick B.Com in the tool above to see it.

Which resume format is best for engineering freshers? +

A one-page format with projects and internships high up, a skills line with the tools you used, and a coding or design profile link. Pick your branch in the tool above.

Is a two-column resume good for freshers? +

It looks nice but some ATS software reads two columns in the wrong order. A single-column format is safer. If you like columns, check the result in the ATS Score Checker before applying.

Should I send my resume as PDF or Word? +

Send PDF unless the job post asks for Word. PDF keeps your layout the same on every phone and computer. Name it like Prajwal_Karkera_Resume.pdf.

How do I make my fresher resume ATS friendly? +

Use one column, normal headings (Education, Skills, Projects), no text boxes or tables, and the exact skill words from the job post. Then check it in the ATS Score Checker.

Fresher resume format kaise banaye? +

Upar apni degree chuniye, design chuniye aur sample dekhiye. Edit this resume dabakar apni details daaliye. Blank Word format bhi download kar sakte hain.
