RESUME MAKING

Its placement time and tensions are mounting, with the result of 4 years of slogging or hardworking or hardly-working or liasioning whatever the case may be, destined to be out in coming 4 months, everybody is on its toes (though many wont admit it). Everyone is cutting time of traipsing and those purposeless talks (if some are not doing it than are at least thinking of it). Everyone is digging deep into newspapers and suddenly eveyone seems to be aware of every other thing thats happening in the surroundings (the domain of surrounding reaches as far as USA). Apart from all these things the lastest one which invariably gets mentioned in almost all the discussion and presently the cause of my frustration is "Resume". I have spend over a week thinking about what I have done worth mentioning in past 3 years (A question whose answers hightened my tensions), and how best can these things be portrayed. Incidently the activity in which I devoted my most time in past 3 years when written on paper didn't looked as great as the other things in which i hardly did anything. I worked my mind to think of sentences which without being blatant lies would convert a minute work into a magnum opus and me into someone who only deals in big things. Feeling a bit confident I though about scanning CVs of my seniors and suddenly many thing which though seemed big uptill yesterday, suddenly looked something equivalent to my own magnum opuses. There were people who had done everything that could be done in IIT. There were some whose core competency as judged from their CV was "acquiring Position of Responsibilities" and not only this, they in their capacity of every responsibilty the concerned club/event/board had reached new heights. Critics of IIT who say that it is not contributing much to the development of technology, better take a look at few of the resumes as every other person has "developed" something or the other and most of the projects occur for the "first time", and when developed will revolutionize one sector or the other. Above all, these "researches" are produced by the people who have displayed their skills not only on the playing field but also at various Dramatics events apart from successfully managing various fests which invariably attracts all the colleges of country. Even in the internship, eveyone has done wonders to the company that they went too, be it productivity increase, solving some decade old problem or giving them a new methodology, they have turned out to be a blessing to the company to which they went to.
Although I had thought to write over "resume" when my own resume gets into proportion but after seeing others resumes, I thought that my own writeup would never reach proper proportions, so waiting any longer would be futile.
