# Indian resume

## Ask for (only what's missing)
Current resume, the job posting, total years of experience, and notice period.

## Format
- 1 page for under 5 years experience, 2 pages max otherwise.
- Header: name, city, phone (+91), email, LinkedIn. Photo, DOB, marital status and father's name are optional and getting rarer; leave them out unless the user wants them or the employer (some government/PSU roles) asks.
- Order: Summary (3 lines with total experience, e.g. "5+ years"), Skills, Experience, Education, Certifications.
- Education: degree, college, year, and % or CGPA (Indian recruiters often filter on this).
- Bullets start with an action verb and include a number: "Handled 40+ client accounts worth Rs 2 Cr AUM".
- Use Indian terms recruiters search for: CTC, AUM, lakh/crore, NISM, CA/CMA, B.Com/MBA.

## Returning from abroad
- Lead with the international experience as a strength (global clients, compliance, process).
- Convert foreign certifications into what they map to and add Indian ones if needed (e.g. banking/wealth roles often want NISM Series V-A for mutual fund distribution; insurance needs IRDAI).
- Don't put salary on the resume.

## Naukri profile
- Resume headline: role + years + top 3 skills (it's searched).
- Key skills: 10 to 15 exact terms from target postings.
- Fill current CTC, expected CTC, notice period and preferred locations; recruiters filter on them.
- Update the profile weekly; Naukri ranks recently active profiles higher.

## Tailoring
Pull 8 to 10 keywords from the posting, use the ones the user genuinely has, never invent experience or numbers, and list missing requirements so they can prepare.

Output: full rewritten resume as plain text, then a short list of changes.
