Recruiters analyse resumes thoroughly to pick the candidates that show the most promise. That’s why you should know how to write an attractive and eye-catching resume. 

The following guide will teach you what information you must add to your BCA student resume, how you can make it more attractive, and what’s the best way to build a powerful BCA resume. 

Basic Components of a BCA Resume

To build your BCA student resume, you must know the fundamental aspects of one. All of the following sections are necessary and help you stand out as a professional who understands the industry standard. 

As a fresher, it’s essential to stand out among your peers. Not only does it help you become a sought-after candidate, but it also helps you understand your professional expertise better and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. 

Note: While adding the following components to your CV, make sure that you enter your career objective first. Also, remember to add your passport size picture and keep the language professional. 

1. Your Career Objective

The career objective on your resume is the top paragraph that highlights your relevant skills. It explains your career aspirations for joining an organisation. Your career objective should be according to the company and the job you’re applying for. It should show how you can help the company and yourself by getting the role. 

2. Your Soft Skills

In this section of your BCA resume, you’ll have to add your soft skills. Soft skills play a massive role in the current day and age. Some popular soft skills include confidence, leadership, teamwork, communication, time management, organisation, and analytical skills. Your soft skills will help you become a preferred candidate, making it easier for you to bag high-paying roles. 

3. Your Technical Skills

Here, you’ll have to add your technical proficiencies. This includes the programming languages you can code in, the operating systems you can work with, and other technologies you can use. Java, MS Office, Tableau, database systems, etc., are examples of the various tech skills you can enter here. 

4. Your Qualifications

This section is for adding your qualifications. Mention your 10th, 12th, and degree in this section with the name of the institutes. Also, be sure to add the percentage you scored in the respective course. 

5. Your Certifications

If you’ve completed any additional certification courses, you’ll add them in this section. For example, it helps you expand your credentials and allows recruiters to know that you’re well-acquainted with the skills you have mentioned. 

6. Your Achievements

This section of a resume for BCA freshers is for showcasing the extracurricular highlights of your academic life. Participating in seminars, receiving awards, completing projects are some of the things you can mention in this section. 

7. Your Personal Profile

One of the most important sections of your resume is your profile. You’ll add your contact information and your date of birth here. 

Tips for Writing a BCA Student Resume

Here are some points to keep in mind while writing your BCA student resume: 

1. Keep it role-specific

You should modify your resume according to the role you’re applying for. Read the job description properly to understand what the recruiter wants from a candidate. Your career objective should reflect the recruiters’ wants and match their requirements. That’s why it’s best to read and analyse the job description whenever applying for a new role.

2. Stay honest

Lying in the resume is a cardinal sin. You shouldn’t add false details. Be 100% honest in your resume. Keep this point in mind while mentioning the soft skills in your resume too. Interviewers use different methods to verify if a candidate was honest in their resume. Hence, you should only mention details that are true and add experiences that you’ve had. 

3. Add your social media accounts

Your social media accounts can help you greatly in bagging your favourite roles. Digital resumes have become quite popular, and it’s pretty easy to add links to your social media accounts in your contact information. However, make sure that your profiles don’t include any indecent content for it can leave a bad impression on your potential recruiters. On the other hand, having proper and well-maintained social media profiles can help you stand out easily and make your task quite easier. 

4. Build a Portfolio

As a fresher, you should work on projects that require you to use various hard and soft skills. Working on such projects will help you expand your portfolio. Freshers don’t have a lot of professional experience. However, they still need to showcase professionalism and a strong command of their skills and expertise. Having an impressive portfolio will help you greatly. That’s why we recommend joining courses that offer multiple case studies or projects.
