\n

TL;DR:<\/strong> One page. Education, projects, internships, positions of responsibility and skills. Every line should show what you did and what happened as a result. Follow your placement cell’s format rules exactly, then tailor your summary for each company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Placement season moves fast. Recruiters visiting campus may see hundreds of resumes from the same college, with the same degree and similar marks. What makes yours stand out isn’t fancy design. It’s specific evidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What TPOs and recruiters check first<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Eligibility:<\/strong> degree, branch, CGPA or percentage, backlogs. Make these instantly visible.<\/li>\n
  2. Relevance:<\/strong> projects and internships related to the role.<\/li>\n
  3. Proof of doing:<\/strong> results, not just activities.<\/li>\n
  4. Clarity:<\/strong> one page, clean, no spelling mistakes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The one-page structure<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Header:<\/strong> name, phone, college email, LinkedIn, GitHub or portfolio<\/li>\n
    2. Summary (2 lines):<\/strong> degree + focus + one proof + target role<\/li>\n
    3. Education:<\/strong> degree, college, year, CGPA; 12th and 10th only if your college requires them<\/li>\n
    4. Projects:<\/strong> 2\u20133, with tools and outcomes<\/li>\n
    5. Internships \/ training<\/strong><\/li>\n
    6. Positions of responsibility and achievements<\/strong><\/li>\n
    7. Skills:<\/strong> grouped<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Project examples that work<\/h2>\n
      \n

      Smart attendance system (Python, OpenCV): face-recognition attendance for a 60-student class; cut roll-call time from 10 minutes to under 1.<\/em><\/p>\n

      E-commerce analytics dashboard (SQL, Power BI): analysed 50,000 orders from a public dataset; identified the 3 categories driving 60% of returns.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Internships and roles<\/h2>\n
      \n

      Marketing intern, XYZ Pvt Ltd (May\u2013Jun 2025): wrote 12 blogs that brought 4,000 visits; managed the weekly social calendar.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Placement coordinator: managed schedules for 25 recruiting companies and 180 students.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      Placement-cell rules matter<\/h2>\n

      Many colleges have a fixed format, font or template, or require details like roll number. Follow them exactly.<\/strong> A beautiful resume in the wrong format can be rejected by the placement portal before any recruiter sees it.<\/p>\n

      Tailor for each company<\/h2>\n

      A product company, a consulting firm and an FMCG sales role want different things. Change your summary line and reorder projects for each. On GoResume, you can keep one tailored copy per company and leave your original untouched.<\/p>\n
