Looking for a job? Posting your resume in different job portals but not getting any response from recruiters? Are you confident of your CV?
Before hunting for a job the first thing that one needs to do is develop a stellar resume or CV.A well crafted CV grabs the attention of recruiters and can give you a better chance of grabbing a job from the rest thousand of applications.
"Employers receive hundreds of CVs per vacancy, so it’s important to have a CV that is well-structured, concise and easy to follow to ensure your application is not overlooked,” says Clive Davis, a director of recruitment firm Robert Half.
The most common mistake is burdening your CV with a heavy cover letter, recruiters don't want a cover letter, they want a well built CV. So instead of putting effort in writing an elaborate cover letter build a well structured CV.
Another mistake is sending the same CV everywhere,don't ever do that.Customize your CV according to the position you are applying for, include relevant skills, add quantifiable achievements.AND PLEASE don't make any grammatical and spelling mistakes, they make you look unprofessional.
In order to survive the present challenging job market you need to stay ahead of others by showing your skills and qualities,recruiters are no more looking for persons who qualify the bare requirements of a job, they want people who can exceed their expectations.
