How to make resume format for freshers.

Let’s be honest—you opened a blank doc, typed your name, and stared at the screen for 20 minutes. Yeah. I’ve done that too.

It’s a pain to write a resume because it’s like you have to write your own Wikipedia entry: formal, dull, and cryptic. Don’t panic—I’m here to help. Whether you’re just getting started or revamping your old, dusty CV, this article will take you through the whole process—step by step, no filler, no corporate doublespeak.

Let’s make “ugh, resume” into “nailed it!” 🎯

✨ Step 1: Keep It Clean and Simple

Your resume needs to be easy to read, not something that hurts recruiters’ eyes.

❌ Don’t:
Font: Comic Sans 😬
Colors: Purple, yellow, and lime green??
Layout: Text flying all over the place like popcorn

✅ Instead, do:
Font: Inter, Roboto, or Open Sans
Color: Mostly black or dark grey
Layout: Neat sections, good spacing, not cramped

Need a head start? Use a free tool such as Canva Resume Builder or Zety Resume Maker, Enhancv’s. They have pro templates waiting to be filled in—just add your magic.

This section’s easy—just ensure everything’s clear and professional.

❌ Bad example:
Name: Rutik P
Email: rutik123cool@yahoo.com
Phone: 0000000000

✅ Better version:
Rutik xyz – UI/UX Designer
📞 +91 12120 44410 | ✉️ rutik.xyz@email.com
🌐 yourportfolio.com | 💼 LinkedIn

⚠️ Tip: Have a real email address and proofread your links. “My 2012 blogspot link” doesn’t count.

This is the TL;DR of your resume. Who you are + what you do + what makes you awesome.

❌ Nope:
Hi I like design. I work hard. Plz hire.

✅ Yes:
UI/UX designer with 1.5 years of experience making digital products intuitive and smooth. Addicted to clean layouts, excellent user flow, and micro-interactions that just feel right.

Pro tip: Add actual keywords like “user-centered design” or “responsive interfaces”—helps both humans and the bots.

💼 Step 4: Work Experience That Works

Highlight what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result.

❌ Note:
Worked on app. Assisted in design. Did research work.

✅ Yes:
UI/UX Designer – AB Design Tech
Jan 2024 – Present

• Redesigned the firm’s website as mobile-first, which increased customer leads by 35%
• Developed a dashboard that enabled internal teams to track deliveries quicker
• Streamlined navigation for seniors by employing larger buttons and clearer icons

Start bullet points with action verbs like Designed, Built, Launched, Simplified. Demonstrate impact, not merely tasks.

Even if self-taught, mention your formal education.

✅ Example:
BSc in Computer Science – XYZ University
2020 – 2023

No need to mention your 10th board results. Nobody cares. 😅

🛠 Step 6: Skills (Organized > Dumped)

Don’t put 10 tools one after the other—group them by type.

❌ Messy:
Photoshop, Figma, AI, CSS, UX, buttons, flows, research, etc…

✅ Clean:
Design Tools: Figma, Adobe XD
User Research: Interviews, Prototyping, Usability Testing
Frontend Basics: HTML, CSS (just enough to speak with Devs)

Projects demonstrate what you can actually do—particularly useful if you’re a fresher or freelancer.

Farm Veggie – UX Case Study
Created an app for elderly people to purchase fresh vegetables online. Employed large visuals, less number of screens, and simple icons to make users accomplish tasks smoothly.

Tip: Add 1–2 lines on why the project is important or what issue you resolved.

Certs can boost your credibility, even if you’re starting out.

• Google UX Design Certificate
• Coursera: Responsive Web Design for Beginners

No need to list every webinar you’ve ever attended, though 😉

🧼 Final Resume Polish Tips

• Limit it to 1 page (unless you’re very experienced)
• Save it as PDF
• Tailor it to every job (yes, it’s frustrating—but it pays off!)
• Spellcheck it like your life is on the line
• Test it with an ATS tool like Enhancv’s.

☕ Final Thoughts

Your resume doesn’t need to be a work of art—it just needs to tell your story, simply and confidently. Don’t sound like a robot or too professional. Just be you—organized, competent, and ready to add value.

So, take a breath, get out that resume, and reward yourself with a cup of chai once you’re through. You’ve earned it. 😉
