"Resume is a brief overview of who you are," remarked Dr. Sanjiv to begin the session. Make your CV easy to read; adding too much information and making it too cluttered can detract from its appeal, he said. The resource person displayed a variety of sample resumes, which was beneficial to them. "Your personal successes and skills will make you stand out from the crowd, so make sure to write that correctly," he continued during the session. Additionally, he stressed the value of drafting your resume in a professional manner without using too much colour because doing so will prevent the employer from seeing the important information. Students actively and enthusiastically interacted during the workshop. The session witnessed series of questions and answers and productive discussions. Students were given advice on how to build a stronger, more polished CV that will undoubtedly benefit them in their career. Workshop was coordinated by Dr. Rita Kant, Faculty, UIFT & VD and Ms. Gargi, Guest Faculty, UIFT& VD.
