Experience is the key to relevance

The experience part of a resume gives extensive information about your previous job history. This is the most important area of your resume, and you must select which positions to mention and which to exclude.
Employers will glance at this area of your resume to see what positions and titles you've held in the past. It also offers companies an idea of your greatest achievements.

You do not have to mention every aspect of your information, but you must include the following information for each position on your resume:

Job Title

  • Do not rename your position! Use the title for which you were employed.

Company Name

  • Use the simplest version of the name, such as "Storytech" rather than "Storytech Pvt Ltd".

Employment Location

  • For each firm, provide the location and state. For example, Hyderabad, TS

Employment Period

  • Choose the month and year, for example, Dec 2020—Jun 2021.
  • In case you are still working, choose the “Present” option.

Description

  • In this section, add any significant achievement you may want to highlight.
  • For example “Received employee of the year in 2020 for outstanding performance in east zone”.

For an experienced job seeker

  • Use as much of the page width as feasible for bullet points.
  • Include as much material in your experience section as possible.

For a fresher

  • Include your internship details as a part of work experience.

Here is an example:

The importance of experience in exposing an individual's evolution and background cannot be overstated. Recruiters can anticipate an individual's efficiency and assess how productive they would be by looking at where they've worked and what tasks they've completed.
