Red crosses mark the words 'placed' and 'job' to indicate they should be avoided. The instructor suggests using a tagline approach with words like 'progress continuously' to indirectly state the objective. This guidance helps students write a professional, forward-looking career objective that avoids clichéd language.
45:00 – 50:00 45:00-50:00
The Career Objective guidelines continue with emphasis on originality and brevity. The instructor reinforces that the objective should be 2-3 lines, written as a short-term goal or tagline. The words 'placed' and 'job' are crossed out in red, while 'progress continuously' is suggested as alternative phrasing. The lesson then transitions to the third section, Educational/Academic Details, where a table format is drawn for listing exams, boards, institutes, and marks, preparing students to structure their academic history.
50:00 – 55:00 50:00-55:00
The Educational/Academic Details section is presented with a table structure for listing exams, boards, institutes, and marks.

95:00 – 100:00 95:00-100:00
A slide titled '7. Technical Projects' features a meme about lying on a resume, with the caption 'When you lied on your resume and they put you right to work with no training.' The instructor annotates the slide with 'Java' and 'Job' to emphasize skill-job alignment. This humorous example warns students against listing skills they do not actually possess, as recruiters may test these claims during interviews or on the job. The meme drives home the importance of honesty and competence in resume claims.
100:00 – 105:00 100:00-105:00
The Technical Projects section continues with emphasis on aligning claimed skills with actual job requirements. The instructor uses the meme about lying on a resume to stress that listing technologies like Java, HTML, and Servlets means being prepared to work with them immediately. The annotation connecting 'Java' to 'Job' visually reinforces that technical skills on a resume should reflect genuine capability, not just aspirational knowledge. Students are advised to only include projects and skills they can confidently discuss and demonstrate.
105:00 – 110:00 105:00-110:00
The slide changes to '9. Co-Curricular/Extra-Curricular & Organizational Activities,' showing a resume with 'Extracurricular activities: Tik Tok, Pubg, Musicaly.' The instructor writes 'poem' and crosses it out next to the extracurricular activities slide. This humorous example illustrates what should NOT be included in a professional resume, warning students against listing personal hobbies like gaming apps or social media platforms as extracurricular activities. The crossed-out 'poem' further emphasizes that casual personal interests do not belong in a professional document.
110:00 – 115:00 110:00-115:00
The Co-Curricular/Extra-Curricular section continues with guidance on appropriate content. The instructor uses the TikTok, PUBG, and Musicaly example to show that personal entertainment activities are unprofessional for a resume. The teaching focuses on the importance of aligning extracurricular activities with professional development, suggesting that students should list club memberships, organizational roles, or skill-building activities rather than casual hobbies. The crossed-out 'poem' reinforces that the resume should maintain a professional tone throughout.
115:00 – 120:00 115:00-120:00
A dark slide titled 'RESUME Highlights' displays a large hexagon marked '1' with a bulleted list including 'Career Objective,' 'Industrial Training & Internships,' and 'Hobbies.' A male presenter in a white shirt appears in a small bottom-right video window, gesturing as the slides change. The slide then displays 'II.

The final frames show a sample resume with technical skills and internship details, followed by a screen recording software interface (OBS Studio). The instructor wraps up the resume training session, having covered all major sections from Basic Information through Co-Curricular Activities and Format/Design. The OBS interface suggests the session may be recorded or streamed, and the sample resume serves as a final reference for students to model their own documents after the comprehensive guidelines provided throughout the lecture.
This resume-building training session by Yash Jain Sir follows a structured progression from motivation to practical application. The lesson opens with a motivational metaphor about action over potential, then defines the resume as a critical document in the placement process. A mind map breaks down recruiter evaluation into 50 seconds split between content (20s) and format/design (30s), establishing urgency for both substance and presentation. The content sections are taught sequentially: Basic Information (with specific examples and annotations on what to include/exclude like nationality for NRIs only), Career Objective (2-3 lines, original, avoiding 'placed'/'job'), Educational Details (table format with SGPA examples), Academic Achievements (action verbs 'Secured'/'Received'), Industrial Training/Internships (2-3 line descriptions), Computer Skills (differentiated by CS vs non-CS degree), Technical Projects (with a warning against listing skills you cannot demonstrate), and Co-Curricular Activities (warning against listing games like PUBG/TikTok). The session concludes with Format and Design guidelines: 2-3 pages max, standard fonts (Times New Roman, Calibri, Verdana), bullet points, 100GSM paper, and carrying at least 5 copies to interviews. Throughout, the instructor uses humor (memes about lying on resumes), handwritten annotations, and real Word document examples to make abstract guidelines concrete.
