Fresher: what changes
A civil fresher is read for two kinds of evidence: design work done to a code, and time spent on a real site. A STAAD.Pro model with the load cases named, a bar-bending schedule you prepared or a slump log you kept shows more than a list of software. Site recruiters want to know you can stand on a slab and measure; design recruiters want the code and the tool, so lead with whichever side the job post asks for.
First thing a reader checks: Design work tied to a code and a tool: structure type, load cases and software, with IS 456 or IS 1893 named only if you used them.

2 to 5 years: what changes
At two to five years a civil resume is read for what you executed and measured: floors built, cycle times held, bills certified and checks passed. Built-up area, workers supervised and rupee values give a site manager the scale in seconds, and school marks come off. If you are drifting toward planning or billing, the page should show which side you own.
First thing a reader checks: Built-up area, floors, towers or project value in the first bullet of each role, so the scale of the site is clear before the detail.

5+ years: what changes
At this level a civil resume is read for scale and control: project value in rupees, number of sites, team size, how closely you kept to the schedule and what happened to cost and safety. The reader expects two or three projects described through decisions, not a log of every site. Compared with the two to five year page, tools and measurements shrink, and delivery, contracts and people take their place.
First thing a reader checks: Project value in rupees, built-up area and number of sites, in the first line of each role.
