HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE — delete this page before sending
• Pick one version and delete the other two pages before you send the file.
• Applicant tracking systems read plain text best: keep standard headings (Summary, Experience, Education, Skills), one column for the main text, no text inside images.
• Personal details such as photo, date of birth, religion, caste or marital status are not needed unless the employer asks for them. Never put your Aadhaar or PAN number on a CV.
• Copy 5–8 words from the job description into your summary and skills — only those that are true for you.
• Every bullet: action verb + what you did + a number (₹, %, days, people, records).
• Save as PDF named FirstName-LastName-Resume.pdf. In Layers you can send it with tracking and see when the recruiter opened it.
