Why these resumes work
- Farhan’s line on 70 percent repeat or referred revenue tells a new client more about reliability than any adjective could, which is why it sits first.
- Tanvi’s 48-hour first-draft turnaround and two revision rounds describe her working process, helping a small business owner picture the engagement before calling.
- Grouping all gigs under one self-employed entry keeps each resume tidy and avoids a confusing list of dozens of short client names.
- Both resumes name concrete deliverables such as pickle jar labels and an exporter order portal, so the portfolio link becomes proof rather than a first introduction.
