section we tackle certain questions that IITB students have been asking us in recent times Q. How do I justify a low CPI? • Grades are important, but are not everything. Prove that time was spent in other worthwhile activities which developed adequate intellectual and social skills Q. How technical should the language/ terminology be? • Avoid technical details as the recruiter might not be familiar with it, focus on time/ cost saved and other outputs • Avoid IITB-specific terms or events that the recruiter might not be familiar with Q. Which course projects should I include? ? ? • Those that reflect achievements or innovation more than expected ? ? • Those involving a major concept that you would like to discuss in the interview Q. Should I add major achievements at school level? • Important and major school achievements are just as relevant, as it shows continuity © 2012 Opera Solutions, LLC. All rights reserved. 49

Remember that you must be able to carry off the image that your resume portrays Q. Should I include activities to prove that I didn’t waste time? ? ? • Show maximum output, not activities. Focus on excellence, not just enthusiasm ? ? Q. How detailed should descriptions of projects/achievements be? • Enough to reflect skills and results, avoid unnecessary details that dilute focus Q. How do I know which skill/ achievement/ project can be removed? • Remove it and see how much difference it makes and if the skill reflected can be effectively brought out using some other item • Avoid repeating achievements in the same field (e.g. seminar and BTP in the same topic, coordinator and CG/ Manager in the same fest) © 2012 Opera Solutions, LLC.
