The major purpose of Resume/CV is to get you to the interview rooms.
Therefore, for jobs seekers this is the step that requires great deal of
care and holds vital role in the whole process of Job Hunting.
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 sated 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 measure
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 which 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 precise without any irrelevant details. However, do list about your
accomplishment in a story form.
4 Incorrect Contact Information:
Another thing that needs prime attention is that you should not provide
incorrect information in the resume. As this process usually enables to contact you. But, if the information is not as correct
that it should be then it will again fail to full fill its purpose.
5 Proofreading:
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 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.
