Pehechaan for
Freshers
Looking to start your career with a great company?
You first need to be armed with three essentials.
First of all, an intelligent and powerful CV that differentiates you from the hundreds of other applicants; a CV that impresses in the first 15 seconds.
Secondly, a 'key-words optimised' Linkedin profile - since HR executives of top firms nowadays begin their search for the right job-fit on Linkedin. And also because on receiving your CV, the HR cell is definitely going to check you out on Linkedin to find out who all are endorsing you on which skills.
Finally, covering letters that are customised to the industry and function you are applying for. A covering letter is the first impression. It allows you to explain precisely what makes your skill-sets relevant (and even crucial) to the job - and the organisation - you are applying for.
Team Pehechaan will take complete charge of building your 'killer' CV, covering letter/s and a power-packed, optimised Linkedin profile. We will not stop there, but also give you insights on what you need to do throughout the year on Linkedin to build and showcase your networks. We will incorporate your interests, hobbies, projects and achievements into a CV that clearly brings out the 'Differentiated You'.
Go grab your dream job!
Anuraag Sharma, Group HR Head, leading FMCG company
“We like to headhunt our candidates through linkedin today. My team is very active on relevant linkedin groups and today to hire freshers we use linkedin the most. Last year over 60% of our hires came through our linkedin efforts.”
Ritu Kapoor, HR Head
“LinkedIn makes a very simple one-stop shop for recruiters looking to vet applications. Does a person have a professional LI profile? How complete is it? Does it match the information on their resume? It's not absolutely the end of the road if a person doesn't have a profile, but it makes a difference when the applicant has a complete profile and highlights skills and projects on it, as well as expertise, through answers.”
Build a ‘key-word optimized’, powerful Linkedin profile. Confused?
Your Linkedin profile needs to have a powerful 250-300 words summary that enlists your achievements. It should be written in a 'keywords optimised' manner. Liberal and intelligent use of keywords, relevant to the sector and function you are targeting, will help headhunters find you when they are looking for right-fit candidate. This will also make it easier for search engines to pick up your Linkedin profile.
We use the same approach to CV-making that is used by top strategy consulting firms for their employees.
We focus on three things while building your CV. First, we clearly bring out quantifiable impact of different initiatives you were part of. Second, we bring out how you were an outperformer in comparison to your peers, in whatever you’ve done. Third, we highlight your learnings from academics, and how you remain updated on relevant fronts.
This CV will be your foundation CV on which you can build further, as you keep progressing in your career.
Covering letters create the first impression on your recruiter/s.
Your covering letter should be grammatically correct, with the most relevant business language used. It should not be too ‘pushy’ but should clearly differentiate you from the others of your ilk. Our team of experts will discuss with you in detail; gauging your professional and personal interests, accomplishments and hobbies, to clearly bring out a ‘Differentiated You’. Depending upon your target industries, the ‘FreshStart Basic’ package gives you the option of having upto 3 customised covering letters.
Three essentials in your job search starter kit: your Linkedin profile, your CV and Covering letter/s.
The 'FreshStart Advanced' package gives you the advantage of getting your Linkedin profile and CV updated
and reviewed up to three times a year.
Once you share your preferred industry and function with us, you will receive monthly insights
and updates outlining the Linkedin groups that you should be a part of, the ‘big picture’ of what’s happening in your chosen groups and how you should be participating in them. In this way, you will be establishing your network and online brand from Day 1!
br> Under the ‘FreshStart Advanced’ package you will also receive intelligently crafted content. You have the option of giving us the pointers that you have in mind regarding your updates; or alternately, you can have our expert team create the content entirely.

Each of our clients is assigned a personal team. Your 'Team Pehechaan' typically consists of 3 members. The first member is an HR expert, well versed with the language and requirements of HR. The second member of your team is an experienced expert from your domain, with an in-depth knowledge of career progression in your chosen field. The third is an expert content-developer with excellent command over English, usually from a journalism background, with in-depth understanding of the functioning of Internet media, especially LinkedIn. Our concept of 'Team Pehechaan' stands on the pillars of 'ownership' and 'responsibility' towards individual clients. You are no longer alone in pursuing a career growth… you are backed by an entire team that will help you succeed, no matter what.
Did you know that the new trend is for freshers to send their Linkedin profile instead of a CV?
If the recruiters find your profile interesting, they ask for a CV along with other details.
The three essentials in your 'job search starter kit' have to be tightly knit together, with no loose ends. Each of these three serves a very different, but equally important purpose. Today, HR managers are not simply interested in viewing your career; they are more interested in how YOU view your career. They are not just interested in their own assessment of your utility to the organisation; but more interested in how YOU think you can add value to the organisation. They are looking not just for any applicant, but a 'thinking applicant'.
Each part of your job search starter kit should complement the other.
The CV gives you the complete liberty to choose your own format. Here, you can showcase your strengths in the best possible way. There is no reason, therefore, that your imaginatively crafted CV should not be able to impress a reviewer in the first 15 seconds.
Even if you do not send one, you probably know in your heart-of-hearts that a CV without a covering letter weakens your chances. It is simply not your best shot at your dream job. This is not because it is the 'done thing'. It is because a covering letter is your first opportunity to impress the reviewer from the HR department – it is your 'elevator pitch'.
So what does this pitch consist of?
• It's your chance to showcase your grasp of the English language.
• It is your chance to address the JD provided by the HR point-by-point.
• It is your chance to show your future employer what you bring to the table with your 'differentiated' skill-set.
In some cases, when you are looking to shift an industry or field, your covering letter actually becomes the most important document, as it helps you connect what you've done so far and its immense relevance to the target industry or profile.
Finally, we at Pehechaan do not say "Linkedin profile" without prefixing it with "Search Optimised" or "Keyword Optimised". We know that big companies nowadays do not browse job portals to scout for the right individual for a job. They do so on Linkedin, and they always search by keywords. These keywords reflect what is of most importance to their HR. They could vary from 'immediately available', to 'steel industry', to '2-5 years experience', a combination of all three….and so on. At Pehechaan, we word your Linkedin profile with great precision, to include the keywords that reflect your aspiration, and propel you to the top of a relevant recruiter's search. Secondly, your Linkedin profile is almost always the first place where your CV is corroborated. From the recruiter's perspective, the set of recommendations and endorsement of your skills by your peers at various work places, visible on your Linkedin profile, gives your achievements a stamp of authenticity. The practice is so wide-spread now, that for a professional or a job seeker there are only two things worse than not having a LinkedIn profile – having a bad LinkedIn Profile, or having a Linkedin profile that does not match your CV.
With our meticulous, studied and detailed approach, we at Pehechaan will ensure that in the short run, you start out exactly where you want to; and in the long run, we will help you build Brand 'You'.
