Project: Creation of resume template for graduating students
All regular CEans,
While our other CE Projects are dormant :sleeping: , let's work on this small but very useful project.
Problem: Lot of graduating students are clueless about the resume format. As a result, most of them create very unprofessional resume.
Aim: To come up with a resume template for our members who are in the final year of their engineering studies. We will then distribute the template as a PDF through CE Forums. End users will be able to copy the format and put their own data into the fields.
Procedure: All our active members will brainstorm on the fields we should incorporate in our resume template for graduating students. We will identify common fields and include them in our resume template. We will also come up with suggestions/guidelines for each field so that the whole job of creating resume is simplified for end users.
Schedule: The whole project should be complete in not more than 3 days time, starting now [ 16 October, 2008, 4:00 pm ]
Notes: Let us aim for a resume which can be formatted in plain text. So no tables, images et al.![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crazyengineers.com%2Fforum%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Ficon7.gif&hash=bf6594c5ea5f6fed72e45498cf493911)
This whole project looks very easy, but I bet this is going to be very useful.
How to get started: We will wait for someone among us to post a template for all of us to get started. If we do not get anything for next 4-5 hours, I'll do the needful.
Let's get started!

Mayur PathakYa folks, forgot to add. The template above is my original copy right. So in case any body chooses to copy it as it is, please pay me a royalty. ;-)
PS: Lets start brainstorming on the template sections now. -
durga chIt's nice and simple...

Kaustubh Katdare*tries new font*
The template above is my original copy right.
So, its a copy, right?![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crazyengineers.com%2Fforum%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Ficon10.gif&hash=0d7d14fee858ace05badaea446045969)
Anyway! Guys, you are too fast !
To begin with, the resume template is specifically being made for the graduating students. So the 'project' or 'professional experience' fields are out of question. We may list a field for college projects 😉 Also, I don't think anyone asks for 'reference' at entry level.
These are my initial comments after looking at the template. Let's build on it now!
-
DifferentialCould it have the following fields
a) Last Year Project Details
b) Last Year Seminar details
c) Extra Curriculam Activities done
d) Vacational Industrial Training attended -
Kaustubh KatdareYep, those are very important fields. Can we club (a,b) & (c,d) ?
Expect my detailed post very soon. -
Mayur Pathak
Biggie! A project is A PROJECT. Now you do it for your final year engineering or for a company, it shouldn't matter. It helps you to highlight your capabilities and your experience/exposure to a particular technology.The_Big_K

References, well It can be removed. But believe me, these days (with all the terror attacks happening) reference checks are mandatory.
Vocational training is important. Good Point. -
Kaustubh KatdareOkay, I have collected best points from your posts and also picked up few from my own experience of interviewing graduate engineers 😀 . Here's what I have come up with -
Date of birth: MM-DD, YYY (Ex: November 26, 1986)
Address: A – 123, BCD, EFG Road, IJK,, , -
Note: Make sure that your address does not extend beyond one line.
Contact: #-Link-Snipped-# | +xx-xxxx-xxx-xxx
Note: Get a better email address for yourself. Do NOT have email addresses like #-Link-Snipped-#. Try to get a professional looking (Ex.: #-Link-Snipped-#) email ID. Enter the phone number in readable format. That is, instead of +911234567890, write +91-1234-567-890.
Objective:

Key Skills:
Education: (Note: Always in reverse chronological order!)
2003 – 2007 : B.E/B.Tech || Institute/University Name | GPA/Percentage.
2001 – 2003 :
Awards & Certifications:
(Note: Mention, only if worth mentioning)
Projects, Paper Presentations & Seminars
Title:
Role: < Programmer, Animator, Circuit Designer etc.>
About project:
[Optional] Hobbies & Interests
(Note: Be careful. Don’t include this field unless you have hobbies & interests. Ex: If your reading has not gone beyond Chetan Bhagat’s book(s), do not write ‘reading’ as your hobby. If you do not have anything worth mentioning, start being active on CrazyEngineers and mention that you are an active participant in technical discussion forum, CrazyEngineers. Chances are that your interviewer is our member!)

Kaustubh KatdareI shall be releasing the template for download (probably in next few hours).

Mayur PathakCool. Why not make a 'real' resume and post it here? Template looks kinda boring.
PS: Watermark it buddy. ;-) -
Kaustubh KatdareOh yes, I'm in the process of creating a resume. I'm posting it on CE and making it available for downloading. It will be appropriately watermarked and branded 😁
-
Kaustubh KatdareThe CE Resume template will go live as soon as we get a 'go' from our editor in chief
Countdown begins! 10 .. 9 .. 8 .. -
Mayur PathakFlagged! *waving*

Evon BarryFor that you need to some tips for how to ad template also keep in touch of professionals so you will get perfect template.

heatherI don't know if that download is legit, it may be.
I think it would be easier to just make a resume using a resume creator like resumizer.com to be sure everything is proper.
It is free anyway so what's the difference? -
ankur8819Adding a point if not already discussed .
Create a computer-friendly resume copy in a word format (.doc) that can be easily e-mailed or uploaded to a resume database. Avoid graphics and templates as they often interfere with search capacities within electronic data bases. Source:- HRD(Infosys)
