FREE PRINTABLE CHECKLIST

Fresher job search checklist (India)

A practical list for your first job search, from a one-page resume to the documents employers ask for at joining.

Tick each one as you finish it

1. A one-page resume that leads with education and projects.
Projects show what you can do; name the tools you used and what the project produced.
2. Proof for internships and certificates.
Keep letters, certificates and project links in one folder, ready to share.
3. A professional profile that matches your resume.
Your headline, education, skills and projects should say the same thing as your resume.
4. Your campus placement process: dates, eligibility and the documents it needs.
Check with your college’s placement cell.
5. Off-campus routes: employers’ own careers pages and entry-level listings.
Apply on the employer’s own site where you can.
6. Documents ready: mark sheets, degree or provisional certificate, and ID.
Keep scanned copies and originals together.
7. A daily routine: a fixed time to search, apply and follow up.
Small, steady progress beats a once-a-week rush. Track every application.
8. You never pay to apply, train or get an offer.
Use the fake job offer checklist if anything feels wrong.
