Chennai Jobs Resume Tips
7 practical, locally-aware resume tips. Plus the 30-second AI tailor flow that lifts your callback rate.
1. Lead with a 2-line summary tuned for chennai
Chennai weights services + manufacturing + healthtech. Mention deployment scale, regulatory work, and any client-facing global ownership.
2. Quantify everything
Recruiters skim. Numbers anchor attention. Replace 'led a team' with 'led a 7-person team to launch X, lifting Y by Z%'.
3. Match the JD's keywords (truthfully)
ATS scans for exact-phrase matches. If the JD says 'A/B testing', your resume should say 'A/B testing' (not 'split testing'). Don't fake skills you don't have.
4. Use Indian salary norms (LPA)
Mentioning LPA in past roles is fine if it's strong. For freshers, skip salary entirely.
5. One page for <5 years, two pages for senior
Tighter is better. Senior roles can run two pages but every line must earn its place.
6. Skip the photo, DOB, marital status
Indian govt-job bio-data formats expect them; private-sector resumes shouldn't have any. Saves space, removes bias hooks.
7. Tailor per JD
Use ResumeBanao to tailor for each job in 30 seconds. Generic resumes get rejected at the ATS layer; tailored ones get reads.
