Stick to 1 page if you're a fresher; use 2 only if necessary.
Use active verbs: "Built", "Led", "Designed", "Solved", etc.
Focus on results & impact (e.g., “Reduced downtime by 30%”).
Proofread thoroughly for grammar and spelling errors.
Use a professional email ID (no nicknames or casual handles).
