EvoAstra team14 Nov 2026 · 3 min read- One page, clean layout, easy to scan
- Lead with projects and internships, with results
- Tailor keywords to each job description
Recruiters often spend very little time on each résumé in a first pass. A fresher's résumé must make skills and evidence obvious at a glance.
- Name and contact links
- Short summary
- Skills
- Projects
- Internships
- Education
- Certifications
Keep it to one page
Use a clean, simple layout with clear headings. Avoid photos, graphics and tables that applicant tracking systems may not read correctly.
Projects and internships first
For freshers, projects and internships are the strongest evidence. For each, describe what you built, the tools you used and the result, ideally with a number.
- Worked on a data project
- Used Python
- Built a sales forecast in Python that cut forecast error by a third versus the baseline
Skills section
Group skills: languages, libraries, tools and databases. Only list what you can discuss confidently in an interview.
Tailor it
Read each job description and make sure your résumé uses the same terms for skills you genuinely have. This helps both recruiters and screening software.
