Delhi's economy is overwhelmingly services: the Delhi government's Economic Survey puts services at about 85% of the state's output. That means retail and trade, hospitality, finance, education, healthcare and the offices that serve them. This guide covers how to write your resume for those roles. It doesn't list jobs.

The main sectors, and the keywords their job ads ask for. Use the ones that truly describe your work.
Wholesale markets, retail chains, hotels and restaurants are a long-standing part of Delhi's services economy and hire for sales, store and guest-facing roles.
Accounting firms, banks, NBFCs and corporate finance teams hire accountants and analysts who know Indian tax and compliance.
Schools, coaching institutes, hospitals and clinics are large employers, and their ads ask for registrations and qualifications by name.
Delhi startups and agencies hire for marketing, product and operations, often for roles that span Delhi NCR.
"New Delhi" or "Delhi" is enough for most ads. Add your area ("Dwarka", "Laxmi Nagar") only when the role is nearby and a short commute is a plus.
Teaching and nursing ads screen on qualifications. Write "CTET Paper 2 qualified" or "Registered Nurse, Delhi Nursing Council" exactly, not a paraphrase.
Retail, hospitality and sales hiring managers look for scale: footfall handled, tickets closed, targets met. One number per bullet is plenty.
Plenty of Delhi-based teams work from Gurugram or Noida offices. A line such as "Open to roles across Delhi NCR" avoids being filtered out.
PopCVs doesn't list jobs. Search these portals and company career pages with "Delhi" as the location, then tailor your resume to each job description before you apply.

Services dominate: the Delhi Economic Survey 2022-23 puts the services sector at about 85% of Delhi's gross state value added. Trade, hospitality, finance, education, healthcare and professional services all hire.
Either works. Recruiters and ATS filters treat them as the same location. Use the one in your address and keep it consistent across your resume and LinkedIn.
Match the job ad's exact keywords, lead each bullet with a result, and keep a single-column layout so the ATS reads it cleanly. Then check it with a free ATS check before you apply.
No. PopCVs is a resume checker and builder. Find openings on Naukri, LinkedIn, Indeed or employers' career pages, then tailor your resume to each job description in PopCVs.
