Resume Template - A Design for a ResumeAlan Cruize
There are various ways and formats for writing a resume. You must choose the format that will highlight your specialized skills in an effective way and get you noticed by the employer. Templates will provide you the raw format of resume.
A resume is a summary of background, skills and qualifications, which is sent to employers for review. Consider it to be your personal marketing brochure with the goal of gaining the employer’s attention and to giving them the information they need to bring you to the next step in the hiring process, an interview. Your resume is often the first document that an employer would typically look at, so it serves as your first impression in the employment process. A well-written and formatted resume tells the employer a lot about your professionalism, and improves the chances for receiving an interview. Consider that employers compare resumes to decide who to interview.

Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules:
1) Only one disk can be moved at a time.
2) Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack i.e. a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack.
3) No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.
Approach :
Take an example for 2 disks :
Let rod 1 = 'A', rod 2 = 'B', rod 3 = 'C'.
Step 1 : Shift first disk from 'A' to 'B'.
Step 2 : Shift second disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Step 3 : Shift first disk from 'B' to 'C'.
The pattern here is :
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'A' to 'B'.
Shift last disk from 'A' to 'C'.
Shift 'n-1' disks from 'B' to 'C'.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.

Vocabulary For Engineering Resumes
1. Tufts Career Center | careers.tufts.edu | 617.627.3299 | Dowling Hall 740
What is a resume?
A resume is a marketing brochure about you. It describes your skills, experience (paid and/or unpaid), and your
education. The purpose of an effective resume is to get you an interview.
Is one resume good for all jobs?
Your job search materials should be customized for each position. If your search is focused on one type of
position, a single version of your resume may be fine, along with a cover letter that is tailored to your
employment target. If you’re applying to a wider range of positions, you may need to revise your resume in
addition to creating a new cover letter. This customization is essential to your marketing and requires research
about the organization and industry.
What is a chronological resume?
The chronological resume is a commonly used format for undergraduate students. The experience section of a
chronological resume includes your positions, listed in reverse chronological order (beginning with your most
recent position and working backwards). Essential data includes: name of organization, location, your title, and
dates of employment/involvement. This is followed by several bullets, describing your skills and achievements.
How is an engineering resume different than a liberal arts resume?
An engineering resume may include specialized section headings such as:
Technical Skills Lab Experience Lab Skills Relevant Courses
Engineering Experience Academic Experience Research Projects or Design Projects
An engineer often includes academic work including a list of courses and relevant project work. This academic
experience might be listed before work experience, if they have not yet interned or worked in an engineering
environment. Technical skills may also be listed at the top of the resume if required by the position.
What else do I need to know about resumes?
● Survive the human scan. Resumes get less than 30 seconds of an employer's time.
● Survive the electronic scan. Make sure you have used appropriate jargon and keywords for your field.
● Capture your reader’s attention by keeping your resume to a single, easily ‘skimmable’ page. Check
with a Career Advisor about exceptions to the one-page rule.
● Use good quality paper in colors such as white, off-white or neutral if submitting hard copy.
● Check for typos, spelling errors, and grammar usage.
● Include a customized cover letter that demonstrates how you match the employer’s requirements.
How do I email my resume?
● Email your resume and cover letter as one attachment (PDF format with your cover letter as page 1
and resume as page 2).
● When emailing your documents to employers, include your first initial and last name in the title of the
document. When creating an appropriate subject line for your email, use your name and the position
to which you’re applying. For example: Civil engineering intern application from J. Barnum.
· Include a short note in your email message to briefly introduce yourself, list the position to which you are
applying, and indicate that you have attached your application to the email and look forward to
connecting with the employer to discuss your skills and experiences.

WHAT IS A “LIST OF REFERENCES” & WHEN WILL I NEED ONE?
· Most employers will ask for “references,” which entail a phone conversation with someone who knows your work. In
some instances, employers may require written recommendations and will specify this in their job posting.
· Be ready to offer three references from current or former employers, professors who have taught one or more of your
courses, and others who have supervised or worked with you in a professional context. Do not list family members,
neighbors, friends and other personal contacts unless they have supervised your work in a professional or academic
setting.
· Check with your references before you give their contact info to a prospective employer. Provide them with a copy of
your resume, a job description, and the highlights of your work with them that are relevant to the new position.
· Use the same name/address heading as you do on your resume in case it gets separated from your resume and the
same color/quality paper for the reference sheet if submitting in hard copy.
Use the same name/address
heading that you have on your
resume for your list of references.
Always list a telephone number as it
is most likely that your references
will want to discuss your previous
performance in a phone call.
