FORMATS FOR RESUME

DAY-SEVEN

Résumé
(Face of a Professional)

How to prepare résumé, it is a question which has multiple answers and number of trainers/professionals have number of pattern.

 Let me explain what is résumé and why is it required as far as my experience and understanding is concerned?

Resume is a face/façade of a professional. In the absence of candidate resume represents the candidate. It should have all the necessary details which are achieved by the candidate during school, college and university education.

Note: In the very first semester of professional education, student should have a very clear target (a dream resume) to carry at the time of interview in final year. Here, Target resume means, other than university examination, what additional certification, extra-curricular activities, languages known, projects etc candidate is expecting in his/her resume.

Normally following points are covered in the résumé.

Résumé Building

There are four static areas in the résumé and seven grey areas.

Static Area:
1.      Name, address and other contact details
2.      Educational qualification
3.      Personal details
4.      Reference and declaration

Grey areas:
1.      Objective
2.      Strength
3.      Additional qualification
4.      Experience
5.      Project & training
6.      Extracurricular, co-curricular activities and achievements
7.      Hobbies

Static area normally remains same for almost all the candidates. But grey area plays a vital role in the recruitment process.

1.      Objective: Objective should be written by the candidate. Because if objective is not self created and copied from someone else, during interview interviewer may identify difference between written objective and actual objective. And at this point, candidate gets eliminated. Objective mentioned in the resume and objective mentioned during oral interview should go hand in hand. Generally If Objective is copied from other places in the résumé, candidate is unable to defend and finally collapses in the interview.

2.      Objective may vary company to company or job profile to job profile.

3.      Generally, it is seen candidates they don’t modify their objective in the résumé. For example:
a.       If a candidate is applying in the academia objective would be different
b.      If a candidate is applying in the manufacturing or engineering company objective will be different
c.       If a candidate is applying in the service sector objective will be different.

4.      Strength is directly connected to data given in extra-curricular activities/co-curricular activities/hobbies/projects/training and other grey areas.

5.      Additional qualification is actually a trump card zone for any candidate, while s/he facing interview. Generally, university curriculum is not sufficient enough to be market ready candidate, therefore opting few certificate programs along with regular university gives added advantage.

6.      Project helps to understand your area of interest in the world of job market. In fact, one can draw conclusion what kind of job profile you would be able to manage properly.

7.      Training, workshop and seminar helps to understand the learning approach of a candidate, at the same time how updated the candidate is, as far latest technology and market needs are concerned.

Therefore, objective of a candidate should be how to improve grey areas and take optimum benefits of market.

Note: Leave 2.5 space in the right side and header and footer and 1.5 in the left side. This spacing is required for filling and writing comments.
 Keep 12 fonts and make your resume in either Times roman, Ariel like readable version.
Don’t make any border or colourful background.

Keep resume black and white but important points should be either bold or italics.

Avoid using different colours and big fonts.

Don’t give too much spacing in the resume. Keep 1.5 spacing between the line.
Don’t write Resume/C.V/Curriculum-vitae /bio-data/bio-de on the top of the resume.

Take print of the resume, never carry photocopied/xerox version of resume. Print should be preferably on executive bond paper.

ronikzoom1@yahoo.co.in
I am Ronik Patel from 4th year Electrical and would like to share some moments while clearing each n every stage of ESSAR.

Firstly about written (the very first stage for letting all hopes alive) -- it was an online test with 4 sections (quantitative, analytical, verbal, technical). There was inadequate time for reading n understanding questions so dont worry about how many questions you will attempt. Just try and find out some easy questions and solve them very quickly. In excess time do bluff some answers and answer each and every question as there are no negative markings. Technical section was very easy contaning quesitons regarding mostly dc machines (prepare fully including winding methods), some from power system and batteries. There is sectional cut off so make sure that u attempt the test completely.
Secondly in group discussion do partipicate actively. They concentrate on each and every candidate -- like how they react when other person is saying something and even they also notice as if you are not reacting at all. There are specific topics for GD. But be aware of latest current affairs. Dont prepare for GD. Its like a group of friends having a very healthy debate between them. Dont be hasty to start and conclude GD. If you are confident enough and have a very good starting point then and then you start it. Try to say something dont sit quietly. If u lack in communication then tell some easy points which you can convey easily.
Finally about interview. Be confident, honest. Have attitude (not excess), clear vision about what to say. Dont copy skills from other candidates. Be calm and dont be hasty. Do listen questions much properly and clearly. Over and above technical knowledge they see your confidence, attitude towards life. If you dont any question then dont try to bluff or give wrong answers. Be honest and say i dont know. Even sometimes they start asking something technical which you are not much aware of then do interrupt them and say i wont be able those things. They asked me about my last semester project. I explained them fully and it was consisting some power factor improvement related things. So my evry question was regarding it. They asked me causes, consequences, remedies for low power factor in an induction motor. Then other question was "will the improvement of power factor change the reading of energy meter of a house (KWH meter)". asnwer will no as the product of current and power factor will remain constant everytime and as voltage is constant, there wont be any effect on Power. So no change. He was impressed by my attitude and confidence.
Thank You and All the Best

Research &Training in Education

We have been conducting Workshops, Teachers’ Training Programs for several years. It has been playing a vital role in the development of education. In fact, this is a unique activity to develop quality and updated education to inculcate innovative techniques in pedagogy. Now a day NAAC, ACCREDIATATION COMMITTEES like bodies are taking these activities as an essential activity. As a result organizations spend a lot of money, time and energy to arrange it. In fact participants get sponsorship from patrons to attend these all programs, and that is called as a paid leave even, it means participants get two benefits i.e salary and sponsorship simultaneously. It makes entire program very valuable and responsible. In fact participants expect a lot from this activity.
Eventually, inaugural function remains very enthusiastic and overwhelming. But lunch break becomes Vatarni River (a river which normally one needs to cross to reach heaven after death). Hardly half of the people attend post lunch session in these all activities.
There are three major stakeholders of this program.

1. Organisers

2. Resource persons and Participants

3. Patron institute of Participants

1. Organisers

There are two major groups who arrange these activities.

a. Educational institutions

b. Industries

a. Educational Institutions:

Normally, academic institutions take entire activity just as an activity to show on paper. They hardly take this program as an institution branding exercise. It shows they are interested to conduct the program rather making it a successful activity. Perhaps definition of successful depends on inaugural function only. Majority of decision making authorities or influential personalities get involved in welcoming resource persons or gathering with guests, rather keeping themselves present at the venue to keep keen watch on participants. In fact, certificates are not decided on the basis of presence or participation, it depends on registration. Participants also keep tracks of all the nearer places to visit or works get to complete in the same time duration.

I took feedback of number of participants why do they avoid attending these sessions:

1. They find activities boring due to monotonous lecturing model.

2. Usually resource persons are the same teachers to whom they have attended during their study.

3. Either resource person or topic remains same and some times both remain same in last two-three programs.

4. Improper use of technology by resource persons.

b. INDUSTRIES:

I took an overview of workshops and seminars conducted by industries. I enquired what does industries do in these programs, and does it remain successful. Majority of participants found activities at industries interesting and worth to attend. Reason beings:

1. They make activities succinct and target oriented/focused.

2. They invite resource persons having practical exposure and expertise.

3. They keep organization brand building in center.

4. They keep accountability and participation of participants.

5. They analyze feedback given by participants and take under consideration before going for next programs.

By the end of these discourse, I had a question in my mind, while industries and academia both have similar target, then why both don’t work together before arranging these kinds of programs.

Academia-Industry Relationship:

There is always confusion that what is important in any program:

Quality of Participants/ resource person/ work environment/ feasibility of topic/ any other.

Whenever we invite people having industrial background, participants prefer to attend session, in contrary to when we invite from academia.

When we arrange programs at academic institutes without UGC/AICTE logo, people avoid though speaker is from industries, in contrary to when we arrange the same in industries.

I believe there is always a solution of every problem. I was longing for solution of this issue, since there is always outcome of every matter.

Conclusion:

Programs should be arranged at any venue but certain things should be taken under consideration:

1. It should be under UGC/AICTE/GOVT logo which makes difference.

2. Venue should be at an academic, peaceful and learning environment.

3. Resource person should be scrutinised systematically as follows:.

• If there are 3 or more than 3 speakers one should keep ratio of two experienced and one fresher. In short one should always try to promote number of resource persons.

• Before inviting resource person one should send letters to respective people and institutions to send their profile including certificates issued by earlier organizers.

• Experienced resource person should be called up for a meeting to brief about the objective and expectation of the program and their requirements.

• Fresher resource persons should be called up for a demonstration before the session in front of organizers’ search committee.

• If experienced person is having less than 60% satisfaction ratio in certificates, s/he also called for demo lecture.

4. Resource person should be issued a certificate after the program on the basis of feedback given by participants
5. Participants should be under scanner (accountability and responsibility).

6. Infrastructure like: OHP, LCD, Internet, Computer, Laptop, Screen, Black Board, comfortable chairs, Photocopying facility should be at least ready at the venue.

7. Objective question paper, based on every session should be ready to conduct after every session, to create learning environment.

8. Certificate of participation should be issued.
9. Patron organization should ask for submission of report on workshop/presentation and certificate issued by organizers.

10. Objective of program should be crystal clear, and it should be first page/paragraph in each and every documented manual, invitation letter.

11. Organiser should keep option open of denying the participation certificate and return money taken by participant as a fee on the spot.

2. Resource Persons:

I believe this is the key factor of a program, in fact success or failure of program depends on resource person’s performance. It is entirely responsibility of resource person to see that learner should not remain dissatisfied by the end of the session. For that a resource person should take care of:

1. Resource person should ask for entire program in details, who are the speakers and what are the contents going to be covered, so that one can avoid repetition and can maintain continuity.

2. If possible, there should be a meeting of all the resource persons before program starts, so that they can discuss collectively how to make program effective and worth.

3. Resource person should never forget that s/he is going to train the trainers, so not even a single moment should be wasted.

4. Making session live, enlightening and smooth one should use technology but it should not be used at the cost of effective session/presentation.

5. Moral values/ethos, academic etiquettes, responsibilities of a trainer towards society, and for organization one is working, should be emphasized in every session.

6. Workshop/Seminar/Symposia/Conference/Training Programs are unique platform to share innovative and recent trend in education, not for just discussion of whatever has taken place already. Resource person should emphasis on application and implications of innovative ideas.

7. Session and questionnaire should be designed in such a way that one can keep balance. Questions asked in questionnaire should be logical.

8. Resource person should analyse profiles of participants before they confirm to conduct and prepare their session.

9. Objective of organizers, sponsors and participants should be very clear in the mind of resource person.

10. Resource person should enquire and demand for all the facilities related to program at venue in well advance, not to leave even a single stone unturned.

Participants:

Participants are not less than a consumer. They are the main stake holder in this program, since they are trainers and they would have to keep updated the education system, they should be highly demanding. Unless they demand trainer/resource person would not able to provide proper training and guidance. Before attending a session one should have certain points very clear in her/his mind, those points are as follows:

1. One should study/think about the topic.

2. One should go with learning attitude rather just for the sake of attending it.

3. Co-operate with the trainer and other participants.

4. Keep answering and asking questions whenever it is expected from trainer/resource person.

5. Write feedback honestly, since it is going to make a big difference for organizers and resource person too.

6. If 60% and above programs were not worth, one should claim for fees/money return. And should deny for certificate.

7. Participants should try to create learning environment, and should try to stay in campus, if it is available.

8. One should arrange a presentation at one’s own institute after attending the program to share information and knowledge one has gained.
