Tips for your Zoho resume
Zoho is known for valuing skill over marks. A resume with real projects, GitHub links and clear explanations of what you built matters more than a long list of certificates.
Expect deep questions on your projects and on C or Java basics. Keep the skills section honest.
Mention any app or tool you built that people actually used, with the number of users.
Format that works
One page, single column, no tables or graphics. Contact details, a short objective naming the role, education with scores, skills, 2–3 projects with bullets, internships, certifications and achievements.
Every bullet should start with an action verb and, where possible, include a number. Our builder checks this for you and shows an ATS score.
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
Does Zoho use ATS software?
Large recruiters process high volumes of applications with software that reads the text of your resume. A single-column, text-based PDF like the ones our builder makes reads cleanly.
What are the eligibility criteria for Zoho?
They change from year to year and by role. Always check the official Zoho careers page or your placement cell for the current rules on percentages and backlogs.
Should I write a different resume for each company?
Keep one base resume and adjust the objective and the order of skills and projects for each company. You can keep 2 resumes in a free account and duplicate them.
