On September 9, 2025, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at KG Reddy College hosted a pivotal professional development session focused on Resume Building and LinkedIn Optimization. The workshop, tailored for second, third, and fourth-year students, was led by Mr. Rajesh Kasireddy, who provided expert guidance on navigating the modern recruitment landscape. Recognizing that a technical degree must be paired with effective self-branding, the session aimed to equip students with the tools necessary to stand out to recruiters and industry leaders. By focusing on higher-year students, the department ensured that those approaching internship and placement seasons received the most relevant, high-impact advice for their immediate career goals.
The session moved beyond generic advice, offering deep dives into the mechanics of ATS (Applicant Tracking System)-friendly resume formats and the nuances of high-impact professional networking. Participants learned how to quantify their technical achievements, structure their project descriptions, and optimize their LinkedIn profiles using strategic keywords and professional narratives. By emphasizing the importance of a cohesive digital presence, Mr. Kasireddy helped students understand how a well-curated LinkedIn profile can serve as a "living resume" that attracts potential employers and industry connections. This initiative significantly bolstered the students' confidence, providing them with a clear roadmap for securing internships and navigating the transition from academia to the professional workforce.
