Content

Summary names a real job family, not “seeking opportunities.”
Every job has a title, employer, and dates.
Bullets start with verbs. At least some mention tools from the posting.
Skills do not list things you cannot discuss for five minutes.
No copied paragraphs from a sample resume on the internet.

File

PDF text is selectable (try highlighting your name).
File name: Firstname_Lastname_Resume.pdf
Links open. Email is spelled correctly.
Page count matches the posting (usually one page for freshers).

Process

Build in MineResume, preview on A4, export, then open the PDF on your phone. If a section overflows, cut bullets before you shrink the font. Starter templates are free; premium layouts are optional.

Walkthrough: using the builder. Common errors: mistakes that cost interviews.
