COMPARITIVE STUDY OF BIO-DATA, RESUME

AND CURRICULUM VITAE.
BIO-DATA
How to write a biodata
Abbreviation for "biographical data", biodata is an out-of-date term for a
resume or CV. On a biodata, you would include information like your gender,
religion, marital status, hobbies, postal address and all your professional
details. Here are the 5 elements to include in a biodata:
1. Objective
State the rationale for sending the biodata in this section. Determine your
career and life objectives and how this position addresses them. Also, include
why you ought to be considered for work or what makes you the perfect fit.
For example:
Experienced content writer actively looking to work as a digital marketing strategist.

2. Personal details
A biodata mostly contains basic information such as your name, date of birth,
gender, address and email address. You can also include information about
your hobbies, what activities you excel at and other relevant details you think
the employer might require to understand you as an individual. You can also
consider attaching your photo sticker at the top of your biodata.
Here's an example:
Name: Ashok Sahoo
DOB: 20/3/1996
Address: AP Nagar, Delhi
Gender: Male
Email address: ashok@email.com
Call number 111-111-1111

3. Work experience
Work experience is another important section in your biodata. List your jobs in
chronological order along with dates employed and job details. You can also
mention your work accomplishments and day-to-day activities.
For example:
Data entry specialist | SK Enterprises
 Executed on-time delivery of consumer assessment packets
 Ensured precise demographic information data entry
  Actively cultivated strong work relations with colleagues and assisted
them in improving work productivity
4. Skills
Skills are important information recruiters look for when skimming your
biodata. By writing industry-relevant skills, you can improve your chances of
getting hired. You can also include certifications, familiarity in using job-
relevant computer software and other hard and soft skills.
Here's an example:
SEO | Mobile advertising | Blogging | Content Management Systems |
Communication | Teamwork | Adaptability | Data-driven | Passionate
5. Education
This section includes elements such as education, awards and distinctions,
volunteer experience and certifications. You can write your educational
background in a chronological manner if you are a few years into your career. If
you have recently graduated with a college degree, your education section goes
beyond your work experience and includes more details.
For example:
 Named house captain in high school
 Awarded with medals in inter-state badminton tournaments
 Received several scholarships
 Reached B1 level in French

RESUME
How to write a resume
Job candidates often use resumes to summarise their education, skills and
employment when they are looking for a new job, networking or applying for
an internal position. The contents of a resume are similar to that of a CV except
that a CV is more detailed in nature. Here are 6 pointers to help you write a
professional resume:
1. Choose a resume format
There are three formats of standard resumes - functional, chronological and
hybrid (also called combined resumes). For most applicants, a hybrid resume
format is a good choice, since it puts equal emphasis on work experience and
skills. In some instances, a chronological or functional resume could work
better.

2. Add your personal details
This section is similar to that of a CV. Your personal details include your name,
contact number, professional email address and location. Ensure you double-
check your address and other details so that recruiters can reach out to you
conveniently.
3. Write a resume headline
A resume headline is a concise one-line description of who you are as a
candidate. A well-written headline can draw a recruiter's attention and
encourage them to go through your qualifications. Review the job description
and look for relevant keywords to bolster your chances of getting shortlisted in
the applicant tracking system (ATS).

4. Detail your work experience
The work experience section of a resume is similar to that of a CV. List the jobs
in reverse chronological order and include specific and measurable details
wherever possible. Present the information in this section by emphasising
relevant competencies as per the job for which you are applying.

Your educational background shows that recruiters can rely on you with job
responsibilities, which can lead you to better opportunities. You can also add
skill training courses and certifications to increase your chances of getting
hired.
