Less is More - Building a resume

Let me tell you a story. Being in NAL was the best learning time I had in my working life. I learnt so much. Within the first 6 months, I had done analysis in ansys, designing in solidworks and programming in visual basic and fortran. The pace continued. I loved the work i was doing.

Then a year passed and i decided to craft a resume and send it out there. The resume i created was decent and i thought it had all the right ingredients to get me lot of interview calls.

But all i got was empty email inbox. No acknowledgement, let alone an interview call. Thinking its the fault of my resume, i tweaked and tweaked it but none got me any call.

Baffled. I analyzed why others got the call and not me even when the resume clearly matched the requirement. All this while i continue building my skills.

Then one fine day i realized my mistake. Since i had worked on so many projects, my resume was bloated. In an effort to impress the recruiter that i know so much, i crammed all my work into the resume. This list baffled the receiver of the resume. It distracted him or her and since there were so many projects, it dimmed the effect of the one that matched the profile.

Fortunately i caught this mistake early and then divided all my project and its descriptions into 3 resumes. Now i began putting only those projects in the sent resumes that were relevant to the profile. Kept the resume brief and sharp.

This did the magic and this little shift had me called for 3 interviews.

Less is more, when it comes to building your resume to get an interview call.

Brand Value !

Further to earlier post Let it shine, I request you to please not degrade the brand value of Aeronautical Society of India. Let me share few points which I have noticed and are effecting the brand value of AeSI.
1. Quality of Resumes
2. Even though profile doesn't match the job, than too applying for it.
(Example : The job is related to Ansys with 2 years exp. & the HR is receiving applications of Avionics freshers.)
3. Just attaching the resume and sending it without mentioning anything like the job code, a short summary of your profile or a cover letter.
4. Using irrelevant font and size in the resume.
5. Size of the resume sometimes exceeds 6000 Kb.

Trust me above issues not only just make a recruiter hyper but also degrade the brand value of Aeronautical Society of India. We work a lot in creating opportunities and when such mistakes are in front of us, then it really makes us to think that Are we doing right ?

Let's make a commitment with you that you'll always use the right approach while sending the resume to any organization. The way we approach to a recruitment officer entirely differs from the way we approach to a project leader in case if freshers jobs aren't available. Use the power of communication in such a way that it will allow the other person to think at least once that whether I should recruit or recommend him/her as a trainee or not ? Let the recruitment officer know that you have a passion to learn new technology (in case of a trainee) and you are looking for a long term career.
But How ?
It's what we call power of written communication, power of cover letter and so on..


Google the same on Internet, there are various websites available & I'm confident that you will shake hand with us in every possible way to promote the brand value of Aeronautical Society of India.


Getting a degree from Aeronautical Society of India means you have a special talent and you reflect a shadow of perfectness. Let's bring the perfectness in this aspect as well. As someone said that "Don't see it as something you are sending but see it from the receiver prospective."


Best Wishes !

Let it shine

Sun finally broke through here yesterday; bringing some light relief from rain.

But the quality of resumes that I continue to see shows its still gloomy for the resumes.

The formatting is in shambles. Placement of the skills and experience cheeky and relevance to the job profile non existent.

Spend some time on the resume. Don't see it as something you are sending but see it from the receiver prospective.

If reading your resume only prompts him to draw out his umbrella, then the resume is worth not sending at all.

let it shine. let it raise his curiosity. let it make him meet you. That should be your goal.

Marching orders of DGCA's chief !

In a very sudden development, the Civil Aviation Ministry gave marching orders to the DGCA chief EK Bharat Bhushan on Tuesday evening with immediate effect. The 1979 batch Kerala cadre IAS officer had  got six months extension just a week ago.

He handed over charges to Prashant Narain Sukul, a Joint Secretary in the Ministry, who would also be holding the position as an additional charge, they said.


There was no official word on the reasons for his removal, but there were speculation that DGCA notice to Kingfisher to ground its operation for breach of safety norms, may have led to his exit.  Mr. Bhushan had also issued notices to Air India and Kingfisher Airlines to pay dues to their employees.

As the Director General of Civil Aviation, he brought in stringent measures to prevent airlines from compromising on safety matters on account of their financial trouble.

He had bluntly told loss-making Air India and Kingfisher Airlines to pay up the employees’ dues. Both the airlines have defaulted on timely payment of salaries and allowances for several months. Mr. Bhushan had said that safety could be adversely affected by a demotivated staff, particularly a pilot, an engineer or a cabin crew if they were not paid their salaries and dues.

During his 20-month tenure as the head of the aviation regulatory body, 57-year-old he handled a series of major cases of flouting of aviation rules, including the fake pilots scam and fudging of records by flying schools.


Mr. Bhushan was actively involved in the Mangalore air crash investigation and had brought in big changes by computerising licensing examinations for pilots and engineers.

Ministry sources were tight-lipped on what prompted the sudden move.
