## Frequently Asked Questions

**Should I include project photos?**
No. ATS can't parse images. Describe projects with metrics: cost, area, floors, timeline, team size. Save photos for your portfolio.

**What software should I list?**
AutoCAD (essential), STAAD Pro, Revit for BIM, Primavera for planning, and MS Project. List proficiency levels.

**How do I show project management skills?**
Mention budget managed, team size, timeline adherence, and any scheduling/planning tools used.

**Are safety certifications important?**
Yes. NEBOSH, IOSH, or equivalent safety certifications are highly valued for site roles in India.

**How many pages should my resume be?**
1 page for freshers and up to 5 years experience. 2 pages maximum for 10+ years. Never exceed 2 pages — recruiters spend 6-7 seconds on initial screening.
