Some tips for you regarding placements,especially for freshers:

1. Do not have your resume more than a page. Seriously. To tell you truth nobody got time to read each and everything. Companies receive 100s of resumes each day and they have no time to go through all of it. So make sure your résumé is only one page.
   
   
2. Remove all the nonsense which is irrelevant to your job. I am really not interested to know which all books you read and whether you like SRK or Shreya Ghoshal. Seriously, nobody gives a shit about it.
3. Do not include every trivial projects you did. I saw some wrote that he implemented Quick sort in C.
   
4. Following arrangement seems good for me for a fresher:
   
   Objective, Education, Skills, Projects
   
   
5. And for a exp guy:
   
   Objective, Experience, Education, Skills, Projects
   
   If you have published some good research papers then add them also.
   
   
6. Do not copy objective statements off the net. It really easy to find out. I really doubt someone who do not have originality can come up with an idea to solve a problem.
   
7. Give education details from reverse chronological order. Recent being on top. However it is better to avoid how many marks you got in 10 and 12. They are not relevant.
   
8. Do not add every bloody programming language under skills set. Really. Add only those in which you are perfect. And make sure you know which are programming language and which are tools
   
   Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2008
   Programming languages: HTML, CSS, Git
   
   Above is a big no no.
   
   
9. If you are confident and you do know multiple programming languages then categories them by level of understanding.
   
   Advanced: Rust, C
   Intermediate: Python, Ruby, Scala
   Beginner: Swift
10. It's really a plus, if you know a functional programming language.
    
11. Majority of students never do their final engineering project and they usually copy off the net or buy it. Do note that's its very very easy to find out whether you have actually done the project or not. So you should have some mini/major personal project.
    
12. Please avoid personal section which includes I am group player, very motivated, hard worker etc rather make sure that you show them in your projects.
    
13. Some people include father's name, mother's name, date of birth. Those details are totally irrelevant.
    
14. Always include your email id. And including phone number is even better.
    
15. Your email should be professional, most preferred is firstnamelastname@email.com
    
    No princessgirl or gothicrocker
    
    
16. Read the job description carefully. each and every world. Lots of people who apply for jobs at CE never bother to read the description.
    
17. No spelling mistakes! Run a spell checker!
    
18. Lastly, more important one, do NOT lie on your resume.
