☕ Intro: Yaar, Resume Banani Hai?
Soch zara, you spent four years in university, bunked half your classes, but now the real viva is here: the resume. One paper that decides whether HR aunty calls you for an interview or ghosts you harder than your ex.
Clear Answer: Resume writing tips are basically hacks to make your CV stand out, keep it short, clear, professional, and tailored to the job you’re applying for.
✨ Why Resume Writing Matters
Look, yaar, a resume isn’t your dil ki diary. Nobody wants to read your matric school cricket captain story (unless you’re applying to PCB). Recruiters spend less than 10 seconds scanning your CV. So, if yours looks like a WhatsApp “good morning” forward, bas gaya kaam se.
- First impression = your CV, not your chai-making skills.
- A bad resume = rejection faster than TCS delivery (btw, track your TCS package here).
- A good one = interview call, maybe even the job!
🇵🇰 The Pakistani POV: CV Writing Struggles
Let’s be honest, Pakistani CVs often look like:
- Too long: Bhai, keep it 1–2 pages max, not a full thesis.
- Bad formatting: Comic Sans font? HR will delete you.
- Useless details: No one cares about your blood group.
- Generic goals: “I want to work in a challenging environment.” Same, dost, same.
👉 Instead, check how to make a CV step-by-step—seriously, it’ll save you from embarrassing mistakes.
💡 Resume Writing Tips That Actually Work
Here are the golden nuggets:
- Tailor your CV – Har job ke liye copy-paste mat karo, edit it for relevance.
- Use keywords – Job posting mein jo words hain (e.g., “team player,” “Excel”), unko CV mein dal do.
- Show achievements, not duties – Instead of “Managed team,” say “Led 5 interns who delivered project before deadline.”
- Keep it clean – Professional font, bullet points, no rainbow colors.
- Add a skills section – Highlight software, languages, and certifications.
- Proofread, bhai! – Typos = HR aunty ka instant dislike.
For extra guidance, check how to calculate GPA because grades do matter on fresh grad CVs.
🤫 What Nobody Tells You
- LinkedIn profile = secret weapon. Recruiters stalk you there.
- Keep a PDF version handy, Word doc formats shift like PSL fixtures (PSL 10 schedule here).
- Add hobbies smartly say “Content writing” not “Netflix binging.”
Also, don’t forget to keep your CNIC details safe (see how to check CNIC with mobile number)—some jobs require it during hiring.
🎓 Extra Hacks for Students & Fresh Grads
- Highlight internships and volunteer work.
- Add projects: “Built an e-commerce website in university.”
- Keep a career objective but make it unique, no boring templates.

😂 Wrapping It Up
So yaar, resume likhna rocket science nahi hai but thoda dimagh lagana padta hai. Treat it like a Tinder profile: short, attractive, and enough to get a right swipe (aka interview call).
