Formatting
One Page
Try to be specific and avoid vague points
Use bullet points instead of paragraphs

There should be no full stops


Margins should at a maximum be 0.25
White space optimization is very important Change the font size of the white spaces between lines, use the horizontal
as well as the vertical white spaces effectively to pack in text

Start bullet points with Action verbs


Clearly state work experience; Usually it is difficult for the recruiter to estimate the experience from the dates which
are written
Take a printout of both editable and printable versions and check

Present tense when describing present jobs/experiences and past tense for past
Use bold strategically to highlight whatever needs more attention

Content
Always exhibit consistency of a select set of strengths
Make a list of things that you have done in life (including
things done at high school etc.). Then shortlist the points
that you want to tell to the recruiter
Even if you have a draft of resume, still you should start
from scratch and make a laundry list of all the activities
and achievements.
Prioritize and retain only the points that have the
greatest impact. Those points should cover the work
experience, academics, extra-curricular and cocurricular.
Highlight the impact of things you have done

The resume should reflect the strength of the person. If


the person is strong in extra-curricular, then the resume
should give more space to that.
Review, review and again review

Confidential for use at IIM Udaipur only

The bullet points in the resume should tackle the


following three points:
The resume point should highlight the complexity of the

situation
What did you actually do (your contribution)
Does the point highlight the impact (contribution v/s complexity)

Co-currilcular & Extra-curricular portion of the resume is


important as a story can be built around it. They help
differentiate.
For extra-curriculars, use a role-based approach. Explain
what you did more than talking about the post you held
If you are applying in the same industry then you can
use jargon/technical words. Otherwise shelve all jargon
and technical words.
Please explain significant gaps in career
If there is something that you have designed but not
implemented use the word potential
