3. 'True and correct/accurate' — truthfulness statement
4. 'To the best of my knowledge and belief' — standard legal phrase
5. Date and place
6. Signature and full name

Where to place the declaration: • At the very end of the resume, before your signature • On a new line, after all other sections

Formatting tips: • Use heading: 'Declaration' (bold) • Keep it to 1–3 lines • Include: Date, Place, Signature, Name • Do not add unnecessary information

Common mistakes to avoid: • DO NOT write: 'I declare that I am the best candidate for this job' — this is not a declaration statement • DO NOT copy-paste without your own details • DO NOT leave the date blank • Make sure the declaration is in FIRST PERSON ('I hereby declare...')

Is a declaration compulsory? • For government jobs in India: YES — usually mandatory • For private sector jobs: Optional (but adds professionalism) • For academic applications: Usually required
