1. Create a resume:

   Why do we ask for a resume in this format? Your resume is actually reviewed by Hari, the CTO of HackerRank. He accepts having a "well-designed resume bias". Everyone (including Hari) likes a good resume. But in an ideal world, only your work/skill in the resume should matter. The design of the resume should not decide whether you are selected for the next round or not. To avoid this bias completely, we are trying to get all the resumes in a single, simple & same format.
   Also, we've picked one of the best resume templates out there to create a resume for you. We've also followed some of the best practices from the book https://thetechresume.com/ so that you don't have to do all the hard work. We hope even if things don't end well with the HackerRank internship, this resume is helpful to you.
