Introduction: In 2025, Resumes Need to Show Skills — Not Just Degrees

In today’s tech hiring world, your resume isn’t just a formality — it’s your launchpad.

With AI-powered screening tools and skill-first recruitment dominating MNC and startup hiring, IT freshers in 2025 need a resume that reflects more than just education — it must showcase real skills, practical knowledge, and hands-on projects.

At Baroda Institute of Technology (BIT), we train students not only in cutting-edge IT tools but also in how to present those skills confidently. Here's how to build a powerful, recruiter-ready resume — even if you have zero job experience.

What Recruiters Look for in a Fresher Resume (2025 Edition)

In 2025, hiring managers don’t expect years of experience from freshers — but they do expect:

What You MUST Include:

• Practical Skills: Tools, frameworks, programming languages
• Portfolio Projects: Work that shows problem-solving and implementation
• Certifications: Government-recognized and MNC-approved
• Remote-readiness: Familiarity with tools like Slack, GitHub, and Notion
• Soft Skills: Communication, collaboration, and execution ability
  
  

Insight from BIT Placement Team: Resumes that mention real projects and current tools get 4x more callbacks — even with no prior work history.
