Student Resume

We all normally apply for many job like for executive, managerial, engineer, etc. There we can write many things about our experience and education, etc. But when a student is to prepare the resume, it is nothing but a short document having all the skills written in it.

The resume prepared by the student must have originality. It must be simple in content. Student must not try to over write it. It creates a bad impression about you. Write the content in such a way that the reader must summarize your personality as a talented one. Don't write anything such that the reader may feel that you are over confident person.

The resume must not be an essay saying that I have done this or that. It must be an orderly manner only. The content must stick to professional background only.

Here is the order of the information in the student resume:
  • Contact information
  • Job objective
  • Experience
  • Educational details
  • Achievements
  • Extra activities
  • References
Write the contact information accurately. Because this is the medium through which you will get the call for job. The job objective must be simpler in nature. Don't over write that. Just mention your career goal.

If you are a fresher, just mention that. In the section of experience just mention the activities you had done through out in school. If you have the past experience just mention the name of the institution and the sort of work and the tasks performed there.

Write the educational details in reverse chronological order. Mention the GPA earned by you. Because as a student your performance is calculated on the basis of GPA. If you have done any type of computer course write that also.

Write about the participation in various activities and the awards or the certificates you have received there through such participation. You can also write the participation in the cultural and the other academic activities. If you have given in scholarship exam write that also along with the marks you had scored there.
In short your resume must highlight all your strengths and the reader must conclude that you are a skilled and talented person. Use appropriate font size and style to write. As a student avoid making silly grammar and spelling mistakes.
