RESUME/CV


Of course, we all were grown by seeing this type of traditional resumes/CV that was made on word files and we should know that there are some rules of making it, or we should edit it from time to time according to our next interview schedule. 

When I was in My College I got to know that if you want a job in any MNCs or any big firms you should have an attractive resume that you can easily get a job. I remember when I was entering in the final year our teachers conduct a tutorial classes about “How to make an attractive resume? ”for your campus drives that you will get your job by making a good resume and they always told us to remember important things about the resume that is:

Always print 2-3 extra copies of your resume for the emergency case.

  - Update your date into your resume according to the interview schedule.

  - Also update your achievements on a daily basis.

  - A Traditional resumes are completed in 2-3 pages.

DISTINGUISH BETWEEN DIGITAL PORTFOLIO V/S RESUME/CV:-

SECURE DATA: When we send our resume to someone is always gets store in their laptop or phone or if you give them during the interview process they will keep a copy of it but in a digital portfolio, no one can save your important documents they only can see it online.

ACHIVEMENTS: In the resume, we only can write a sentence about our achievements but in digital portfolio, we can attach our certificates or prize picture with the description of our achievements.


 STORAGE: Resume/CV covers a lot of space into your laptop, phone, or any device but Digital Portfolio is never cover space because it is always available online or accessible by any device.
