Few points about the resume and Job Applications

I'm not resume/C.V fanatic who advocate for 100% grammar free application but I believe that resume should be complete and effective for the job application. (Please note that in the past, I have received the interview call by sending a hand written resume).
Please be careful about your resume to avoid common mistakes:

1. Subject should clearly describe the Position Name when sending against some job post or Major Skills.

2. Please go through the spelling of the major skills.

3. Try to name the resume with your complete name like Sameer Kumar Sharma(imaginary name) can named as sameerksharma.doc or .docx etc.. If you have multiple resumes in your computer then keep them in different folders to keep the same name

4.   Include few major items:
a) Highlight of the professionals skills /roles (could be 2-3 like to around 10 depending upon the roles and experience)
b) Skills sets
c)  Also include Skill sets used in every role,  for example:

29-Jan-2012 to  19-Nov-2018, Actor at ABC Limited at Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Skills used: Comedy, Acting, dancing, crying, fighting, Emotional scenes, Dialogue delivery 
Job Duties:

  • Character in the films.
  • Dancing in the songs
  • Advertising in the commercial ads
  • Horse riding for the scenes


29-Dec-2007 to  28-Jan-2012, Software Developer at Adventure Software at Singapore
Skills used: Apache, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS, Github
Job Duties:

  • Developing PHP MYSQL CRUD applications
  • Creating authentication for the websites
  • Maintenance of the website
  • Feature addition.
  • Version maintenance on the GitHub


*** The above are samples. Please update with your skill-sets in each role

***Never put details like : Date of Birth and Complete postal address on the resumes. Make resume with min details.. and focus on major tasks, Skill-set, work roles from newest to oldest, education , trainings , certifications etc.
