_What is a resume?_
A resume is a document containing a summary or listing of relevant job
experience and education (with or without an accompanying cover letter),
naturally for the purpose of IMPRESSING someone (in your case, a
recruiter!). It is akin to the leaflet of a seminar… if the leaflet is
presented well, you are tempted to go and attend the seminar. Similarly,
if the resume is written well, employer is tempted to call you for
selection process.

It is in short form – a document to show the “Best that you are” in the
“Best possible way” so that you can get that “Best Job”.

If you are a fresher (wanting that always elusive first job), to show
the “Best that you are” is the most difficult one and is the core
problem, the solution of which you want by that question “How can I
write the best resume?”

But its answer is very simple:
To write a good resume, if you have time still, than build up the best
in you, even before the time to present your resume:
Study properly to get good grade to show off, do at least one good
project based on which maximum questions are asked to a fresher in
during interview, be members of student forums - which shows the social
animal in you and participate in contest among students - quiz, debate,
sports & games etc., to show how talented and energetic you were while
studying … all of this would actually form the content of your resume
later when time comes to prepare it!

But what if you have already passed out or on the threshold of passing
out, without having the time to develop those resume contents? Well, you
need to mask yourself intelligently….say, if you have never played
sports and games and you state in your resume that you were the best
athlete in your college, you must naturally know at what time you ran
that 100 meters! Mind it, I am not teaching you here how to lie…but….

With these inputs, lets go ahead to see what is a “Good Resume”… it is a
resume sent by one of the student for my comments – his name is Sanjay
Majumder. We would learn by examples by going through this resume. So
