During the phase of campus recruitment students tend to worry about how to write their resume. They are concerned with the ways of impressing the employer through their resumes. They spend huge amount of time to make it a prominent one among the competitive group and they tend to pack it with huge directory of awards and certificates. The main prerequisite that the recruiters search in your resume is that it should be user friendly. Even if your resume format is not the best in the business there is nothing to worry about it but the key fact is that fonts, font sizes and spacing should not be ignored. If you want to prevent your resume from going into the dustbin keep it short, not inevitably sweet but it should be to the point. To begin with fonts, don’t use flashy and intricate ones. Strive to use plain fonts with the size ranging from 10 to 14. Don’t ever attempt to show your word skills in your resume. Another important feature, which would rate your resume, is the dearth of grammatical mistakes. It not only portrays the lack of communication skill but also shows the fact that the applicant is lazy and careless. If one thinks that the job for which he is applying is imperative he would never tend to make these mistakes. For a fresher it is advisable to put the educational qualification table upfront followed by the extra curricular activities. It shows the emergent personality of an individual and this would be enough to get into a company.
