The post Top 5 Questions to ask at the end of Interview appeared first on About Opening.

After doing all the hard work in an interview in the end people get confused about whether they should ask any questions to interview or not. Well, my recommendation is that you should ask to attest one or two questions at the end of the interview. 

Yes, You should ask a question.

So here I am going to share with you the top 5 questions that you can choose from to ask your interviewer.

Depending upon the situation you can choose which question to ask and which to skip.

Much fresher don’t ask any questions at all and that’s is very bad.

As a fresher, you can be nervous or scared in the interview so few mistakes are okay, unless and until you do something crazy.

Do you know that most interviews start with the question “Tell me about yourself” so check out the “Ultimate Guide to Tell Me About Yourself Question

So here I have explained some points from which you will get a sufficient idea.

Is Interviewer Okay With Me For Asking More Details?

Actually yes. As you know Interview is two-way communication. But It doesn’t mean that the interviewer will ask the only questions and you give only answers.

In the Interview, you can ask relevant questions to the interviewer. A question can be on anything like company, back and forth question answering on technical part or work-related, or day at that company.

During the interview, you can ask a question on some points where you don’t know the answer but you know a little bit. The key to asking a question during the interview is to show a little bit curiousness and then to ask more on that point.

So that will give the interviewer to show his knowledge and guide you on it and the interviewer gets to know your interest in the field.

Curiosity is The Key

Show some curiosity, interest, and smartness and you can easily crack the interview. 

Why Should You Ask The Question?

Why Should You Ask The Question ? | What to Ask at the end of Interview
Why Should You Ask The Question?

When you ask the interviewer a question. It gives an idea about personality to the interviewer.

It also says that you are not scared and you are confident to ask if you get any questions. Showing your strength, potential, and worth in the interview will land you on that job.

It will be boring if just an interview is going from Question to answer and not back and forth.

When you are asking a question that shows your real interest in a job.

Why At The End Of The Interview?

After answering all the expected questions now interviewer is looking for your questions and doubts. So have some questions prepared which will make you look like a good candidate with the right mindset.

Having questions at the end also shows the right idea and attitude towards taking that job.  Real seriousness comes when you ask a question in an interview so simply ask them

Some Important questions I have listed below that you can ask at the end of the interview to get more information, to connect…etc.

When you ask a question you kinda make a small connection with the interviewer and be kind to respect interviewer opinion so the connection becomes strong.

Once you kinda connect with the interviewer then even if you have some bad points. It gets neglected considering your smartness. 

Precautions When Asking Your Interviewer Questions  

One wrong question and you will screw up the interview. That’s the only reason I am writing this in detail.

You don’t wanna ask anything wrong or meaningless questions to the interviewer. Take every interview question calmly withs seriousness don’t show laziness.

Don’t ask a question which answers you should already know like companies’ main working area/domain. Basically avoid questions that have obvious answers.

Simply when you ask any question, don’t try to explain it.  Just ask and let the interviewer answer.

Top 5 Question To Ask At The End Of The Interview

Company Specific 

To get more information about the company and totally easy to ask in an interview. So these are the top 5 questions you can ask about the company at the end of the interview.

Choose situation related question and ask. Remember it is not mandatory to ask a question but very important from both sides.

What do you like most about working for this company?

Give a little bit of energetic information about the company and then ask this question.

If you don’t mind can you tell me what company really does?

Before asking this question tell the interviewer that you know companies domain. Let him know that you know a little bit from your side of research.

What are the working shifts?

Ask this question in a creative way like so do we have 3 shifts or all employees work in a single shift. Something like this.

Does the company organize social events?

If you like social events or previously you said that you have participated in social events then you should definitely ask this question.

Am I someone who can fit into this company?

Same again with this question, ask this with according to situations.

Role Specific 

These questions will bring more meaning to your interview because the interviewer can see that you are interested and want to know more.

How has this position evolved?

This is a very important and serious question and does ask this so you will get to know why that position is open and its importance. With the information, you can decide further things. 

day-to-day responsibilities of this job?

Simple question, You will get to know the daily task which you are expected to do.

Am I someone who can fit into this role

If the interview has gone very good and just wants to get a hint from them whether they think you are fit or not then you will get an answer with this question.

Can you give me any advice for this role?

You can ask this question in your technical round on appropriate timing like when you know you have given good answers till now and in the end, you simply ask for permission to ask a question.

If the interviewer gives permission then just ask so you will get to know whether you are fir or not for that role.

Who will I be working most closely with?

After know that ya you have cracked interview with your skills and personality now its time to know the actual team and people you are gonna work with.

How to answer ‘what is your weakness’ Thu, 28 Nov 2019 17:06:22 +0000 The most awkward question to answer in an interview where you have to tell something you are not good at. Many people make big mistakes…

The post How to answer ‘what is your weakness’ appeared first on About Opening.


Many people make big mistakes hereby sometimes telling something about themselves that they shouldn’t have or by being super honest.

There is a little trick to be played when you are answering a ‘what is your weakness’ question. Like this and that’s why I am writing this article. 

I have cover point by point about this question so I suggest you go by all point to end and get your answer ready.

It will be very helpful for other readers to know your custom answer so don’t forget to comment it below.

You need to understand why the interviewer asking you about your weakness. Like what he is looking for so you can answer it better and there will be no judgment.

Don’t underestimate the value of this question. Because I have seen many people who pass all technical and aptitude tests and failed in the HR interview.

Assuming that you know these type of questions are asked by HR or in HR interview.

HR is a simples round of all interviews with very little preparation.

Why The Interviewer Asks About Your Weakness 

The hiring manager who asks you this question is only checking how well you are aware of your problems.

Because if you are not aware of your weakness, how will you overcome them?

And that my friend is a problem for them because the hiring managers are quick to judge.

If you can’t see the problem in yourself then how you are gonna go with critical problem-solving at the job.

Small things matter always remembers. Things hiring manager is checking are as follow. Are you even aware of your weaknesses? If you are not then how will you overcome them or even try to overcome them.

How much do you know about yourself?

Are you focused on yourself or not? OR are you with overconfidence like some people go and answer that I don’t have any weakness ..etc. 

How honest you are?

Honesty is the number one key to passing the hiring manager round or HR round as you call it. 

You have to be smartly honest with them like show your weakness with the solution and promise to overcome it.

How well you present your weaknesses and solution to it?

You don’t have to just show you are not totally good at something. You need to show your weakness with improvement promise on it.

How to answer

How to answer ‘What is your weakness ?’ Question

Most of the time this question is gonna be combined with what are your ‘Strength’ question. So do tell your strength first and then weakness letter.

You can portray your weaknesses like they will be your strength soon.

For Eg. If your weakness is English Communication skills then you can say like my weakness is my English communication skills. But currently, I am working on this and I am sure it will become my strength soon. 

Might be they will ask you next question based on this answer which is What efforts you are taking to improve your communication or how you could improve this?

So, in such cases, you should know the exact answer. Like you may tell them by reading English magazines, or by reading a newspaper or by watching English TV series I am improving my communication.

Basically understand that based on your first answer they might ask you some related questions. So, frame your answer accordingly and also concentrate on what are other outcomes of this particular answer.

List of Weakness to say in the interview

List of Weakness to say in the interview

1.Getting impatient after passing deadlines 

When framing the answer you can start with an explanation. Like ‘i get impatient when any project or work goes beyond the deadline.

I like to complete my work before the deadline or attest at the 11th hour but if it goes beyond then I get frustrated.

So to avoid it I am keeping track of my work daily and creating small deadlines. Little proactive in work helps me avoiding it’ 

2. Can’t say ‘NO’ to help

I think that helping other colleagues is good in manners. Like I create a small bond with them. Even I get to work on something new than regular and it excites me.

But in the past sometimes it turns out that I don’t say no and end-up taking more work. And now I can’t manage to finish my own work. So working there also 🙂

3. Too much focus on project details 

Before starting with a new project I like to analyze the small details about the project.

I think if I know every little thing about the project then I can do my work more efficiently. Somehow sometimes I spent too much time on it which is not good. So I keep refocusing my goals in an interval of time during the project.

4. Lacking confidence ( entry-level employees)

Having low confidence or not feeling confident when working, presenting is common among new employees. So mention it and give it a good frame to show you are overcoming. To ensure my work before actually starting it or presenting it to the team. 

5. Don’t like asking for ‘HELP’

I don’t like to disturb my colleagues just because I lack knowledge about something. So I like to work on my own. But It came to me that asking for help is a good and efficient way to finish work. Sometimes rather than spending endless time on it. So I am working on it.

Points to remember

  1. Avoid weakness that would make you unfit for the position
  2. Don’t share a universally disqualifying answer
  3. Never ever say that you don’t have any weakness
  4. Don’t be too honest and make yourself look bad and unfit to role

These points are simple to make sense so keep that in mind. Keep a healthy discussion in the interview.

Don’t go over and over some points. That will look like you don’t have anything else to say.

Be confident when answering the question and frame it before say it.

Remember everyone has a weakness and you are no different. So that’s why you don’t say that you don’t have any weaknesses.

This is ultimate guide to answer “Tell Me About Yourself” question because there are ultimate points to this question and are very important for you to understand the importance of the question.

A Lot of people fail to give even good answer to this question. That’s the main reason they are not able to crack the rounds or get offers. 

Most of us do answer this question very simply like telling about your educational background, family background, your hobbies, about your college level event participations. But unfortunately my friends that is not ENOUGH.

Yes you heard me, Always remember when you doing interviews, you are showing them why they should hire you in your every points so you have to act, talk and show smartly.

You don’t wanna show or hide too much to your interview.

Answering this question is like sliding your smart points one by one with one or max two believable / real bad points.

You have to take care of lot of things but once you know how to deal with it, with that you can crack whole interview.

So in this article we are going to focus on following points and I am totally sure that you will get your answer at the end. Just don’t skip any points because every point their represent small things which you are gonna need it letter.

  1. Why interviewer Asks “Tell Me About Yourself” Question ?
  2. Why should you give better answer to “tell me about your self” question ?
  3. Things To Remember Before You Give Your Answer ?
  4. How To Start Your Answer ?
  5. What Exactly Your Answer should be containing ?
  6. How To End “Tell Me About Your Self” Question ?

Why interviewer Ask This Question ?

Why interviewer Ask This Question ?

So to know how to answer the question you better know why they asked it in first place, what is there in that question that every one keeps asking it to you.

In Simple words, interviewer wants to know little bit of your self, that every one knows.

But what you don’t know is that they are checking 

  • How you react to it 
  • Are you good Listener 
  • How you start your answer
  • How you represent your self
  • Are you scheduled person or not
  • You are more than just about playing games, listing music
  • Are you scheduled person or not
  • Have you done any voluntary work in your interest in college that is related to job fields
  • Even if you have done work or not, can you explain it clearly 

If You Don’t Know It Well,

You Cant Explain it Well

In Reverse You can Show these point in your Answer like

Your Happy Reactions

Always check interviewer is asking question with your name in it?

For example if your name is Sachi then he might ask you Hello Sachi, Tell me something about your self ?

 So that time you should never ever start your answer with your name  like Yes, My name is ….. and…. Thats where you make a mistake because he / she already knew your name and you again introducing your name to him/ her.

So check that small things because on they check your hearing ability.

Always give information in very simple, understandable words. No long lines.

Don’t use very hard words from dictionary because interviewer might not know the word and he / she will failed to understand you.

Always be comfortable in your chair, don’t sit uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable it is totally cool to adjust yourself a little bit.

Show him that you are scheduled person with confidence, don’t get confuse about your statements in front of interviewers. 

Don’t evert tell your hobbies as just Watching Netflix, listing songs, reading books ..etc. 

For sure you can mention them in your hobbies but also mention some work related thing to it as your hobby so that will give them little idea that yes your working and focused person.

Plus points are always welcome in this answer but don’t explain it so soon. Just mention about it and leave it. So you will make him/her ask you question on that later.

Hope we are getting somewhere with these points. 

Why Should You Give Better Answer To “tell me about your self” question ?

Yes, I know I have already pointed out points above about these but there are more to this question and which is very very important.

99% of the time your interview start with this question so there is more to it and it is all depend on your answer.

Because further questions in interview comes from this answer.

Example, If you said in answer that you have done something like book reading as hobby then he/she is gonna ask you “what book are you reading currently? ”  Or “ What are books names you read recently?” Something like that.

So never lie when answering in interview, better you can guess it or give your opinion in smart away. 

Even better don’t mention things you haven’t done.

Always give information while keeping in mind that question on that is gonna come so play it in smart ways.

You start from vast topic and narrow it done so he will also get idea about expertise and there he can test you.

So if you are saying you are better at something, you should be better in real like you can argue with that on attest intermediate level. If you think you can’t then don’t mention or better prepare on it.

Interview question cycle goes something like this :

Tell Me About your self -> You give your answer

They asks questions on your answer -> You explain it in detail and show your expertise

They test you on your expertise -> You prove them that you are in real with your skills.

I know interviewers also check your resume and ask question on that also but I was just pointing on this question so explaining cycle related to this question.

Things To Remember Before You Give Your Answer ?

Things To Remember Before You Give Your Answer ?

Now to the next thing is about remembering the things before you start your answer.

Its a small thing but can make a huge difference so pay attention when you are making your resume and answer prepared before interview starts.

Smart people do one thing that normally avoided by other people is of making different resumes for different positions.

So as your resume changes your answer to the ‘Tell me about yourself’ question changes in some points. These points are necessary considering the ‘JOB POSITION’ so do that.

Things To Remember

Don’t forget the targeted position and technology

Yes, You need to always keep in mind about position like if you are applying for HR position then you should keep that in mind when answering. 

Add some points to stand out from crowd like previous work related to HR field.

If you are applying for Software developer then you should add intermediate level project in your resume.

See many people still add project name and details which are very old style like Hotel Management System, Library Management System.. etc. These type of projects are not going to help you stand out from crowd.

As I am from IT background I can tell you like if you are targeting for the backend position then you should alway specific the ‘BACKEND’ role you played in your college project or previous internship.

If you are targeting for front-end position then you should specify and hammer it for two or three times on that point. 

For example – we have successfully completed college project. There were 2/3 people involved in development of the project and I was mainly responsible for FRONT-END development. So I have worked on HTML/CSS, BootStrap, JavaScript. 

And so on you give interviewer an idea about your expertise.

See its always better that interviewer asks question on your expert areas rather than random topic.

You can’t tell interviewer to ask you on specific thing so you can give answer. So you have to lead him to that point where he/she will ask you those questions him/her self.

I hear many interview conversations and many people actually asked interviewers to ask question on specific points so they can give answer.

NO, You should never do such a thing in interview. 

If interviewer asking you question, just let him know that you know little bit of it and you have worked on backend / frontend / database ..etc previously so really liked it.

It will give him idea and you will also not look bad. 🙂

Updated Resume points 

Always Update Resume when applying for different position but also update your answer also related to resume.

You don’t wanna say one thing in answer and another in your resume so check out and be prepare for it.

There are lot of sites with many different template. Choose one with simple format which gives clear information.

If you applying for designing, UI/UX, even HR side then I recommend you to make a VISUAL RESUME. Because you show skills with it, creativity and interested towards work.

Project Details and Your Role in it

As mentioned above, I suggest you again to change your role in project according to targeted position.

That is very important and you just need to mention it in your answer and leave it, I repeated just mention it and leave that point.

Let interviewer ask you question on that rather you give it away just in introduction.

When he asks you then you can explain what you did and what technology you used.

If you are applying for HR, even testing sometimes you should mention Good Hands On experience on MS-Office-Excel. That will give you good attention.

Hobbies Related to Position

If something goes wrong then trust me hobbies can pull you back in. You just need to know how to.

I always consider hobbies as last resort of getting back in game. 

Normally people mention hobbies as reading, listening, singing..etc but I want you to make change to it and add attest one thing related to your work.

That one thing can save you. 

You can add something like ‘solving competitive coding challenges’, if you are targeting developer position.

Or ‘planning events’, ‘carrying out college events’, if it is HR position or management related position.

Or ‘solving puzzles’, if you are applying for Database side jobs..etc.

You get the idea right? So find something related to your work and add it.

And mention hobbies at the end of resume so it comes out late in your interview and gives you plus point.

Don’t just mention those hobbies but create one or two stories on it to tell in case interviewer asks you. 🙂

How To Start Your Answer ?

There are many ways to start your answer that will make you look like 

Most Probably this question is gonna be the starting of your interview so you should start with 


Greeting can be like “First of all, I would like to thank you for giving me opportunity to introduce my self” and you go on from this point.

You should always check time before you enter room to greet them on entrance and make a strong handshake.

If you greet interviewer wrongly then your are definitely giving  wrong impression so try not do that.

Many people get confuse and nervous they end up saying sir to female interviewer and mam to male interviewer.

If you ever get nervous during interview then just ask for water and take a long breath. It will give you enough time to calm yourself. Then just smile and continue with your interview.

One important thing for TOPPER’S. It really doesn’t matter how many marks or grades you got on paper if you can even express, explain or say it in front of interviewers. 

No company is gonna hire you just because of your grade.

Just look excited and start with your answer mate.

“Hello, My name is ——— and I have done my 10th from  — school, 12th from — college and after that { bachelor degree }  from ——— college and just completed my { Master degree } from so so college. I am good with. ——— technology or ——— work. I have done ——— project in college and I was mainly responsible for ——— { specify role }. “

What Exactly Your Answer should be containing ?

Well your answer should be containing basic things we know already like

Your Name, if he doesn’t know then only. If he knows then you don’t have to tell him.

Your Educational Details and while telling your educational details go from bottom to top

For example start with 10th, 12th then bachelor’s degree and then finally masters.

If you are very good at your field subject then specify it slightly. Just tell interviewer that you liked so so subject and good grades in it.

Before you start your strong point slightly mention about your family background and native place.

When you are answering questions sometimes look smart or give answer in smart ways.

Try not to give same answer as everyone. 

For example one time interviewer asked me “Which programming language are you good at? “ So my answered was ”I am good at JAVA but actually programming language does not matter because my logic is good so ! “

Slowly turn towards other activities you didi in past years. Activities should not be like I have participated in dance or some small actives. You should mention something that matters and makes you look like a strong principle person.

Don’t go on hobbies much if you really don’t have a good one.

At the end mention about your college projects you did. Max 1 or 2 college projects are enough. Those project should be of recent years.

What to mention about your project :

Project Name

One Liner Description

Your Role

If you have worked previously like did internship or something then you can mention it after the educational details.

How To End “Tell Me About Your Self” Question ?

After doing all the above. The last thing you need to do is leave interviewer at the point where he will ask you expected question. 

For example, At the end when you’re telling something on your recent project, then what you need to do is that you don’t explain it to him. You just give very little information.

“Always remember you need to stop at the point where his next question should start”

That will make interviewer ask you question on that then you got chance to explain it.

If somehow you messed up and didn’t manage to end it well then last resort is to tell interview something you remember like out of the blue moment. That sounds funny but it works.

For example you can be like ‘i just remembered something about the project or incident or problem you faced while working on project’ and do same thing. 

Hope You  are ready with your answer till now. Feel free to comment any suggestion below.

Thank You and I will see you in next post 🙂

Fact : Amazon comes in top four technology companies along side Google, Facebook and Apple. 

Amazon provides three types of hiring strategy mentioned below

  1. University recruiting

Data Entry Jobs By Amazon

As for I know amazon doesn’t provide direct and only specific data entry jobs. Yes I have checked on amazon sites and even on some job portals. 

You will get google results on it but none of them are true and mostly leads to different data entry jobs provided by other companies.

Part Time jobs also very very less mentioned on their official job portal you can check out part time jobs provided by amazon 

Fulfilment and Operations Jobs are kind of similar to data entry jobs. But requires significant experience in those areas like ‘7+ years direct experience in employee relations, labor relations’ or  ‘ Minimum of 3+ years’experience providing Executive Assistant support for senior level executives ’.

Check Out: similar to work from home data entry jobs by amazon 

If you think you can get work from home without any experience or with basic knowledge then you are mistaken. To get remote work, you have to show skills and experience of past projects and work. 

Well though there are many many retailers on amazon who sells their custom products. These retailers need people with product details writing and data entry on product but for that you need to know basic of Amazon product platform and retailer who can give you work !

Amazon work from home reviews

People stated that they manager or superiors don’t bother when employee is doing work from home and they all are very proud of it. Because it makes employee happy and happy employee gives best output so from all concern its WINI WIN.

What is a cover letter, format, examples Mon, 26 Aug 2019 18:57:10 +0000 As important as your resume, your cover letter has also importance. Mostly big companies hiring manager needs this letter to understand your profile in short. …

The post What is a cover letter, format, examples appeared first on About Opening.


In Simple words, Cover letter is shorter version of the resume. 

Most of us thinks that your cover letter is fetch by recruiter than your resume. No, it’s not like that.

Even it looks so sure that recruiter will see your cover letter first but that does not happen.

Resume is important as always when your are applying for the job and cover letter kind of push you in front of hiring manager.

Now you know what actually cover letter does. Many people get confuse between Resume and CV also and I bet you don’t know the long form of CV so

Check out : CV vs Resume

In above post I have explained the actual difference between CV and resume.

After this you can make your own cover letter and attach it when applying online.  You gonna need cover letter when you gonna apply for big companies. 

Even if you are a fresher, you should have your cover letter ready. 

What is a Cover Letter ?

Cover letter is nothing but a simple single page document where you state some points about you.

Normally cover letter should not be more than three paragraphs. Cover letter gives hiring manager quick overview of your personalities. 

It is for hiring manager or sometimes for recruiters. It is not compulsory or mandatory document when you are applying for job. But Resume is compulsory and important document. 

Cover letter should be different for different job opportunities. Like in cover letter there is should be one paragraph about the company you are applying and stating why you are a good fit to it. So

It changes for different companies and job positions.

IMPORTANT : You should have attest 3 or 4 different types of resume ready and cover letter along side with it. 

Cover Letter Format

Cover letter has very simple format like another letter. You mention your details in paragraph format.

Points to state on cover letter are as follow:

  • Mention your contact details same as on your resume
  • If you are fresher then mention the academic project, skills, awards ..etc and if you are profession then you need to mention you past experience skills, years, technologies.
  • Also make one paragraph about the company profile and job position like why it is perfect fit for you.
  • At the end, appreciation paragraph where you appreciate recruiter or hiring manager.

Cover letter should as simple as possible. No fancy fonts, colours, headings or anything. 

 Cover Letter Format 2019

I have already said that there is no one format for a resume or cover letter. So feel free to customise it however you want.

Below is a cover letter format for experience and for fresher also. You can find different fancy formats online but I recommend you to keep it simple unless and until you are designer or your profile is related to designing.

If your profile is related to designing or related to it, even I have seen some HR resume which contains graphical format. 

Graphical format cover letter or resume is not for IT, engineering people.

Cover Letter Examples

You will have better understanding after looking at cover letter example. 

For once you need to write the first paragraph and last paragraph. You don’t need to change them when sending your cover letter for different positions. 

But however you are going to change the middle paragraph where you are talking about company, position and how perfect it for you with your skills.

Some example contains many small paragraphs so just change it wherever necessary and keep it real. 

JobScan website provides variety of cover letters and you can get them on your mail. 

Get :  20 Cover Letter Examples 2019 Approved by JobScan

Never lie on Resume or Cover letter. Cover letter is all about highlighting the plus points about you. 

You can use conversational tone in your cover letter like you can start with saying “Hi ..recruiters name.. “.

Cover Letter Examples

You need to explain what type of job you are looking for before your appreciation paragraph.

You can make resume however you want but your resume should be effective in interview process. Follow best format that represent all the necessary and effective points on resume.

Make the best of given format and replace the details accordingly. 

Just a tip you should know the difference between CV and Resume before applying it for a job.

Now that you know the difference we can check out the format details below. Feel free to drop your suggestions in comment section

Resume Format For Fresher

Resume Format For Fresher

Fresher level resume contains information like academic details, little personal information, project you did in college years, hobbies, personal inclinations.

Fresher level resume should be of maximum two pages and not more than that

As shown in resume format image. There are only two pages and shows all the necessary information to the interviewer.

There are two places on those places which matters the most

  • First, First page top section where you can highlighting academic grades or your programming skills. Any one of them will do.
  • Second, Second page bottom half area where interviewer is gonna check that your hobbies or personal inclinations matches to your tone or not. 

You can also customise the given resume format as you want like if you are good at some technology then try to mentioned it as earliest as possible so interviewer will get to know what to ask from you. 

College Project section is one the important part of the resume. Check these things when you are writing about college project

  • Project name should be small and meaningful. Don’t write project name like hotel management system or ticker booking system
  • Project description should be two liner and not more than that.
    You just need to state 
  1. what your project was about.
  2. what technology you used.
  3. Your Role in project like responsible for frontend / backend / database designer 

Personal project section states and shows that you are worked on your own. It shows you know self motivation, working mind and much more. It’s a small thing but matter a lot.

If you don’t know what to work on for your personal project then take online help there are lots of small projects you can start with.

Resume format changes accordingly to your skills. Like if you have good grades throughout the academic years then you can highlight those on resume.

Resume sample for fresher

Finally here is resume sample you are looking for. Always remember to update your resume once in while. 

Resume is the piece of paper which tells lot about you before you make it to the interview so make sure got it right. 

As shown in sample you can keep clean and point to point resume. 

You don’t need to add your old project unless and until those contribute high value in your academic years. Just add the recent one or max two and that will do.

Change your resume perspective  accordingly where you are applying or for what position you are applying. Like if you are applying for the particular position then you better hight light things that are related to job position.

If you are targeting big MNC companies for top technologies like AI, Machine learning or Data Science then you better have your personal projects on it.

Hope you have got enough information. Feel free to share any thoughts or other better formats you got in comment section. 🙂

The post What is Resume, CV, and The Difference between a cv and a resume appeared first on About Opening.

Hello Reader, frequently people get confuse  and can’t tell difference between CV and Resume. You should know the real difference between these two. Because you don’t want to make mistake at the time of applying for your dream jobs or even when you are explaining it your friends. 

Both Resume and CV are totally different in nature. Both are for different purpose and tells different story. 

People get confuse because both them almost contains  same. information. But for the person who rescivies it, can matter a lot. Like for the instance if some companies HR is finding experience person for the job and you send mail with subject “Resume” then that HR is gonna ignore you right away because HR knows difference between resume and cv. 

What is Resume ?

Resume states straight forward skill point for particular job. Resumes are simple plain, short like max of two pages and brief summary of skills. 

One person can have different resumes and I really suggest that you should create different resumes for different roles in your job areas.  

We can say that resumes are for fresher as fresher they don’t have experience to mention and they have just started with careers. 

Make sure your resume is up to date and perfect in nature because that’s the first thing HR of the company is gonna see it and will decide whether to contact you or not. 

Resume should contain things like Objectives, Summary, Eduction information, Skills, any work experience, contact information and optional things like hobbies, extra activities, personal inclinations.

And last but not least resume doesn’t have any specific format, its all all up to you to write your own resume or get online help to make it perfect for your self. 

What is CV ?

CV stands for Curriculum Vitae. I bet that you didn’t even imagine like CV will stand something like this. 

CV is long, in-depth explained document, it covers your career experience, awards, achievements with all other information from resume,

By nature CV’s are more than two or three pages in length. We can say that CV is for the experience people. There are some countries where they prefer CV documents rather than Resume. In India we use both Resume and cv in respective of nature of job requirement.

CV vs Resume : The Difference between a cv and a resume

In simple words, CV is for experience people who has many years of experience and achievements and story to tell and Resume is for freshers or with minimal experience.

As mentioned earlier CV is long in nature can stretch up to 10+ pages where resume can be of max 2 pages and can’t be more than that.

In CV, career experience is shared with all minor and major details where as in resume you are targeting for specific position for goal. 

CV contains information like in-depth experience details, educational achievements, Books, Awards, Skills, Languages, Conferences, References and much more.
