[supprimé]

Hey guys, I used to think some resume advice sounded counterintuitive until I actually tested different versions myself. One thing I noticed is that simplifying things helped more than trying to sound impressive. Curious what advice sounded wrong at first but ended up helping you?

Been going through a lot of fresher resumes lately and having conversations with 2024-25 passouts about their job search.

One thing that genuinely surprised me:

Almost every single person is using either their college placement cell template or a random free template they downloaded online.

And almost nobody has ever received proper feedback on whether their resume is actually working or not.

The only signal they get is silence — no callbacks, no rejections, just nothing.

Which made me wonder — where were we supposed to learn this?

College doesn't teach it. Parents don't know the modern format. And most online advice is either too generic or written for the US job market.

For those who figured it out — how did you actually learn to write a resume that got you callbacks?

And for those still figuring it out — what's the one thing you wish someone had told you earlier?

I am a fresher and I am searching for job. Mostly companies ask for work experience but, I should have job to get experience bro, so what should I write in my resume?
