Don’t forget to add criteria which every prospective employer looks for. As screening is based on the employers’ criteria. So if you will not fit in the employer’s criteria, there are chances that your resume may not be shortlisted due to lacking of details.

Don’t copy format of any resume as you need to change the resume according to company background and demands of job role for what you are going to appear in the interview. Your basic information may be the same, but you need to change other information based on the company.

Do not try to add unnecessary information in the resume until it has a beneficial impact on your resume. If the information does not add any value to your resume it’s better to don’t add into the resume to keep it straightforward.

What to include while Freshers creating a resume:

When you start to create a resume think of a reader’s mind, that what the readers look into the resume. Decide on the data that you think that the reader can look for and make a note that includes all that data. Now bifurcate the data according to the details that it serves to give a clear view to the reader. Don’t worry about how many segments you need to create, as that has no any good or bad impact. Look for the resume template to get an idea about formatting. Use professional color formatting to differentiate each and every segment from the other. This will give an eye catching look to the reader. The length of the resume should be moderate. But if you willing to provide some extended information, don’t try to push it in a page to accumulate in limited space, better to utilize space in-between information.

There is no any fixed protocol that you need to follow while creating of Freshers resume. But still specifying project based precise information can be a most effective facet to convey the employer about your skills and experience.
