3 mistakes software engineer fresher resumes make

  1. Listing every language you've touched

    A skills row with Java, C, C++, Python, PHP and R reads like a syllabus. Recruiters want two or three you can defend. Name them, then show each one in a project with what you built.

  2. Project titles with no substance

    “Library Management System” tells nobody anything. Add the stack, your own part and one real detail: tables you designed, APIs you built, tests you wrote. Put the GitHub link right beside it.

  3. Burying your CGPA and backlog status

    Many Indian drives screen on 60% or 6.5 CGPA with no active backlogs. If the ATS can't find your marks near the top, you can be cut before anyone reads your projects.
