The best format for a fresher
Use a single-column layout on one page. Put your contact details at the top, then a 2–3 line career objective, education, skills, projects, internships, certifications and achievements. Freshers are judged on projects and skills, so give those the most space.
Write your degree CGPA as '8.2 / 10' and school marks as percentages. If you have no standing arrears, say so in one line: recruiters in Tamil Nadu often ask.

Project ideas and how to describe them
Each project needs a title, the tools you used, and 2–4 bullets that start with an action verb and include a number. For example:
- Solar-powered Automatic Irrigation System: Designed a system that waters plants only when soil moisture drops
- Solar-powered Automatic Irrigation System: Ran fully on a 20 W solar panel with battery backup
Common mistakes to avoid
- Two-column or graphic-heavy designs that ATS tools read in the wrong order
- A long objective that says nothing specific ("seeking a challenging position…")
- Listing 30 skills, including ones you can't answer interview questions on
- Project bullets that describe the project but not what you did
- No numbers anywhere: users, accuracy, marks, time saved
- A second page full of hobbies and personal details like father's name and date of birth

Questions
FAQ
Should a EEE fresher resume be one page?
Yes. Freshers rarely have enough relevant content for two pages, and recruiters prefer one. Our builder shows a one-page meter and suggests the Compact template if you spill over.
Should I add a photo?
Only if the company asks for one. Most ATS tools ignore photos and some read them badly. Our photo option is off by default.
Do I need a declaration at the end?
Some Indian companies still like one, but ATS tools ignore it. Add it if your college or the company asks; the builder has a switch for it.
Is the builder really free?
Yes. Build, edit and download as many PDFs as you like with no watermark. You only sign in if you want to save your resume to your account.
