Crafting a Standout Resume: Essential Do's and Don'ts for 2025
Why is a strong resume important?
A resume is your first impression—make it count! Here's what you need for success in 2025:
Do's
- Use clear formatting and professional font
- Highlight skills and achievements with metrics (e.g., "Improved site speed 40%")
- Customize for each job—match keywords from the job description
- Keep it concise—one page for freshers
- Proofread for errors!
Don'ts
- Don't use generic objectives—make them specific
- Don't list skills you can't prove
- Don't include irrelevant experience
- Don't go overboard with design—keep it clean
Pro Tip: Add a short professional summary and relevant projects to make your resume stand out!
