It&#8217;s about putting the right sections together which is quite the challenge. It requires a good set of skills to make a perfect and THIN RESUME. You may have very <strong>less experience<\/strong> or<strong> no experience<\/strong> at all. In this article, we will see<strong> how you can add things to a thin resume<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to manage the number of sections one has to add to their <strong>RESUME<\/strong> in order to impress the <strong>RECRUITER<\/strong> if you are a beginner?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few pointers you can consider before starting your resume:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>1. FILL UP THOSE BLANK SPACES<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the white spaces to fill information about your soft skills, or of any past work experience and your approach towards the vacancy at the firm. Don&#8217;t forget to enhance your strengths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of using white spaces for section separation, you can also use lines to separate out the sections. You can fill the blank space with art, graduation achievements, qualities, projects, links, etc. This is one of the many <strong>ways to add things to a thin resume<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG5_-300x168.png\" alt=\"Ways to add things to a thin resume\" width=\"849\" height=\"475\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG5_-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG5_-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG5_-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG5_.png 1092w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also read : <a href=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/resume-tips-career-gap\/\">Resume tips for those with a career gap<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/write-first-resume\/\"> How to write your first resume<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>2. USE BULLETS AND NUMBERING :\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is always good to have texts arranged properly one-after-the-other, and that&#8217;s something we&#8217;ve all seen throughout our childhood starting from our textbooks to notes. Pointers and numbers have stuck around for a long time and can finally help you in building your resume for your dream job!!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3c4858; font-size: 16px;\">Use some bullets and numbering to add more clarity to your RESUME.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3c4858; font-size: 16px;\">Make your information neat, clean and properly arranged.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3c4858; font-size: 16px;\">Use specific words that can be replaced in a sentence, so that you can save space for more information in your RESUME. This will make your THIN RESUME look more attractive and add spaces for further information.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG6_-300x185.png\" alt=\"Things to add in a thin resume\" width=\"1045\" height=\"644\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG6_-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG6_-768x472.png 768w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG6_.png 917w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1045px) 100vw, 1045px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>3. USE NARROW MARGINS :\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the many ways to add things to a thin resume includes using margins. A bordered page with some margin is formal and neat .<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to your requirement, you would need more space for adding information.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here you can make use of NARROW MARGIN and NARROW BORDERLINE instead of the bold and super-fancy ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will give:-<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u27a2 Sleek and elegant formal look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u27a2 More writing spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>4. REDUCE CONTACT INFORMATION :\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide enough information to make contact with you. There is no need for a long detailed address and address of the rental home, etc. Just be specific about your CONTACT INFORMATION. Instead do not waste that precious writing space with your ADDRESS. You can use it to increase your shortlisting probability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><strong>5.\u00a0 NO WORDS ONLY NUMBERS :<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now come-on who loves to read paragraphs after paragraphs. The same is the case for the <strong>RECRUITERS<\/strong>.<br \/>\nSo, be more specific, use <strong>NUMBERS<\/strong>, not alphabets. Add more spices to your <strong>RESUME<\/strong>, make it more relatable and crisp. Smartly use numbers like :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. Your College Percentage \/ CGPA.<br \/>\n2. No. of projects completed.<br \/>\n3. No. of Internships \/ Industrial Training.<br \/>\n4. Any previous work experience, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, now this is going to give you 2 advantages:-<br \/>\n1. It gives you more space for adding valuable information.<br \/>\n2. Gives an attractive look to your RESUME.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>6. TRIM THE SUMMARY :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG8_-300x99.png\" alt=\"Improving your resume\" width=\"857\" height=\"283\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG8_-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/cvdragon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Capture.PNG8_.png 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 857px) 100vw, 857px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Remember, a resume summary is supposed to summarize your best qualities for the job.\u00a0It should not have more than five lines intro or 10 plus bullet points.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bottom line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your resume summary is this long, there is a chance that the recruiter will not read through all\u00a0of it because it is obvious you did not bother tailoring it to the position you are applying for.\u00a0Trim your resume summary to three lines of text and five to seven bullet points max.
