Why these resumes work
- Siddharth lists his RCI licence and M.Phil clearly, which is the first eligibility filter for any hospital clinical psychologist post in India.
- Aditi counts supervised sessions and group workshops rather than claiming experience she lacks, so a wellness centre can judge her readiness honestly.
- Both resumes describe client groups and concerns in general terms only, showing the confidentiality awareness that any mental health employer expects from a candidate.
- The supervision, assessment turnaround and neuropsychological screening bullets position Siddharth for senior hospital work rather than a purely counselling role.
