The major purpose of a Resume/CV is to get you to the interview rooms. Therefore, for job seekers, this is the step that requires a great deal of care and holds vital significance in the whole process of Job Hunting.
Now I have listed down some key mistakes to avoid so that your Resume/CV could give you better results the next time you send it.
1- Avoid Grammatical Mistakes:
At times this has been observed and has been stated by the employers that one of the most negative that could go against any candidate is having grammatical errors in their resume/CV. Thus, preventive measures should be taken. Before taking a printout for final submission whole document should be carefully corrected for any grammatical mistakes.
2- One Resume/CV will do:
Another turn off for the employers has been that the Resume/CV which they have received has nothing to do with the job opportunity. What the Job Seekers do is that they take many printouts of one CV and send it to all the employers. What the employers actually are looking for is a specific CV that has been created for them only. So substantial care if required.
3- Lack of Details:
At times irrelevant information is provided and relevant information seems to be missing from the Resume/CV. Therefore, we need to make sure that the key information will remain present there. Remain to the point and not to mention irrelevant details. However, do list about your accomplishment in a story form.
4- Incorrect Contact Information:
Another thing that needs attention is that you should not provide incorrect information in the resume. This process usually entails getting in touch with you. But, if the information is not as correct that it should be then it will again fail to full fill its purpose.
5- Consultation:
Before sending your resumes do get it checked by some individuals. It’s always a good idea to get your Resume/ CV checked by some expert. They will provide you professional feedback and might also recommend you for something better in the future.
So, these are the major mistakes which you need to avoid and by doing so you will be increasing the probability of letting the Resume/CV attain its objective.
