How to make a simple resume (with a ready template)
Last updated: 20 June 2026
A resume is a one-page summary of who you are and what you can do. Keep it clean and honest. Use the structure below — or ask Saathi to write one for you in your language.
What to include
- Name and contact (phone, email, city).
- A one-line objective — the job you want and your strength.
- Education — latest first, with year and marks/percentage.
- Skills — real ones (e.g., driving, tailoring, computer, spoken languages).
- Work experience or training — role, place, and dates.
- Optional: certificates, references.
