But when you are a fresher and have no idea about resume writing, then it becomes difficult to write a job-winning resume. 

To make an impressive resume you should know:

  • What information your resume should have?
  • What is the correct order of information?
  • How long your resume should be?
  • Should you add a photo on a resume or not?
  • Should you add your hobbies in a resume or not?

This article will help you in answering these questions and hopefully, you will be able to create an impressive resume: 


1. Begin with name and contact details:

Start your resume with your name and contact details on top. You can put your address also if you want but mobile number, email ID and any alternate number if any is must.

2. Put a realistic career objective:

Career objective defines the kind of job you are looking for and your future career plan. Never put a career objective like "Looking for a good job in a good company". Make it realistic and put the objective that also matched with the job you are applying for. Like if you are applying job in an IT company then it may be "Looking for a challenging and responsible opportunity in an IT company where I can use my existing skills and strength to meet company expectations and learn new skills".

3. Educational Qualification:

As you are a fresher, your main focus should be on your education details. Put all your education details with the result and passed year so that employer can know about your learning skills. Any other certification if you did, any internship or seminar if you attend, mention all these in this section. 

4. Mention your skills:

It is the most important part of your resume. Put detail of all your skills. Keep the skills that are related to the job on top and highlight them so that the employer can view them in no time. These skills will impress employer and take you to next level in the hiring process.

there is no hard and fast rule to add or not to add photo on resume. If you want then you can add your photo also. But it should be passport size.

Add a section for other details like languages known, hobbies, interests and other positive points in brief.
