What should I do to create an attractive CV? I am a first-year Civil Engineering student at IIEST, Shibpur.

The term attractive is relative, in the context of a CV or resume. You just showcase your skill-set, education, work experience, etc in these documents. Yes, a CV can be well-organized or well-formed. A well-formed CV may be found attractive to one recruiter and in the very same way, it may be found dull to some. So, there is a pinch of luck factor also required. So first you need to consider for what company you are going to apply. Your CV should be target-specific and must target a company that is interested in the skills you have. For Example, If it is an analytics firm then put some extra effort to showcase your interpersonal skills as well as your extracurricular activities. If it is a core technical job then vocational training and other academic projects should be highlighted well.

To make a good cv consider the following points. 

• The font size should never exceed 16. A minimum would preferably be 12. This font looks professional.
• Use professionally used fonts like times new roman etc. Don't forget to make certain comments bold or underlined.
• You should have an email id that doesn't contain anything funny. For ex- if someone named Aditya Ghose makes his email id adityarocks@gmail.com it will not come across as professional.
• Don't forget to use margins in ur CV. Your CV should look clean and spacious.
• The declaration is not needed for campus placement. If you try off-campus then you have to write a declaration to verify that it's your cv.
• Make use of a table to write down your academic qualifications and your percentage of marks, CGPA, etc.
• The most important thing to note is that a CV should never start with the title CV or Resume.
• Don't forget to convert it to .pdf format as it looks more professional.
