Why these resumes work
- Rohan’s line about approvals secured without resubmission speaks directly to a principal’s biggest delivery risk, so it earns a place near the top of his current role.
- Sneha lists Council of Architecture registration in certifications, removing the first question any practice asks before calling a fresh graduate for interview.
- Built-up areas such as 450,000 sq ft and building types like campuses and bungalows give reviewers an immediate sense of project scale and studio fit.
- The thesis line quantifies simulated heat gain reduction, turning an academic project into evidence of design thinking that a sustainability-minded studio will value.
