The session was started with a very basic thought of assimilating a resume as an advertisement for oneself. The faculties later made students understand the core difference between a resume and a CV, followed by stressing over the need of learning the art of recognizing one’s capabilities and strengths in this competitive era. Some of the major guidelines to help write an effective resume included:

  1. Following a format

  2. Keeping it simple yet specific

  3. No detailing

  4. Keeping the employer as a primary focus

  5. Need to include a career statement in your resume

  6. Need to furnish true details

The session ended by clarification of various doubts and finalizing everyone’s resume. The students were thankful for making them learn a skill that would be highly needed in future.
