Resume Builder — Govt Job Format (Hindi + English)

Intro: A concise, well-structured A4 resume increases your chances in screenings and manual reviews. This guide explains how to use the Resume Builder to create government-friendly resumes (with declaration & structured education), bilingual Hindi/English resumes, and export production-ready PDF, editable DOCX or standalone HTML — all generated locally in your browser.

Before you start — quick checklist

• Keep identity documents handy (exact name spelling, DOB format).
• Collect education details (degree, board/university, year, marks/grade).
• Prepare role-specific keywords for the Skills section (use exact terms from the job description).
• Decide whether you need a government-style template (declaration & structured table) or a Professional layout (recruiter-friendly).

Step-by-step: create a government-ready A4 resume

1. Fill Personal Details: Enter full name exactly as on official documents, phone, email and permanent address. Use bilingual labels if required (Hindi/English).
2. Add Education & Experience: Add education rows with degree, institution, board/university, year and marks. For experience add role, employer, city, dates and 2–4 bullet points per role. The government-style template renders education as a clear table which manual reviewers prefer.
3. Enter Skills: Provide concise skills separated by commas; the builder normalizes duplicates and formats skills into clean bullets to help ATS parsing.
4. Choose Template & Styling: Switch between government-style (structured, declaration section) and Professional (modern recruiter layout). Pick Devanagari-friendly fonts when adding Hindi text to prevent rendering issues.
5. Preview at A4: Use the A4 preview to confirm margins, spacing and whether content fits on one page (important for many government portals). Reduce font-size or margins slightly rather than removing key sections if you must fit to one page.
6. Export: Export as PDF (A4) for submission, DOCX if you need to edit later in Word/Google Docs, or HTML as a standalone web copy. Filenames are auto-sanitized (e.g., Jane_Doe-Resume.pdf).

Export details — what each format gives you

• PDF (A4): Print-ready, paginated to A4. Ideal for government portals that request PDF uploads.
• DOCX: Editable in Word or Google Docs. Use this if you need to customize fonts or add scanned attachments later.
• HTML: Self-contained single-file HTML (inline styles + JSON-LD) useful as a public web copy or for attaching to online profiles.

Bilingual & Devanagari support

The builder supports Hindi + English labels and Devanagari-safe fonts. When creating a Hindi or bilingual resume:

• Choose a Devanagari-friendly font from the styling panel.
• Preview at A4 — Hindi line breaks can differ from English and may need small spacing adjustments.
• Keep headings consistent and avoid overly long lines to preserve readability.

ATS-friendly guidance

To improve parsing by Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS):

• Use simple headings (Education, Experience, Skills).
• Prefer lists and short bullet points over long paragraphs.
• Keep skills as plain keywords (comma-separated) so the builder can normalize and export them as simple bullets.
• Avoid embedding important text inside images — ATS can't read text inside images or decorative elements.

Common mistakes & how to avoid them

• Submitting multi-page resumes when a portal asks for single-page — always use A4 preview.
• Using tiny font sizes — keep body text readable (10–11pt) and headings slightly larger.
• Forgetting the declaration for government-style templates — toggle the declaration option in the government-style template.
• Uploading PDFs with unsupported fonts — export as PDF (A4) which embeds fonts, or export DOCX if the portal asks for editable files.

Security & privacy

All preview and export actions happen client-side in your browser by default. The tool generates files locally and saves them to your device. Nothing is uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly enable an optional cloud/save feature.

Troubleshooting & tips

• If layout shifts when exporting to PDF, slightly increase page margins in the preview and regenerate the PDF.
• To keep a one-page layout, reduce section spacing or shorten bullet points rather than removing essential information.
• If Hindi text wraps oddly, try a different Devanagari-friendly font or slightly increase line-height in the styling options.
• Always keep an editable DOCX backup so you can tweak final formatting if a portal rejects the PDF.

Examples

Freshers — Government-style template: Personal details + education table (latest first) + brief skills + declaration. Export as PDF (A4).

Experienced — Professional template: Summary + experience bullets (2–4 per role) + education + skills. Export as DOCX if further editing is needed.
