Resume is the fundamental factor of recruitment as it is that sheet of paper that can actually decide your future -- of course if you are look for a prosperous employment career.
Every Employee Analyst receives piles of resume from candidates which are subjected to a 3-step process of -- shortlisting , reviewing and selection. In order to reach the finish line, a candidate needs to keep certain things in mind.
• The resume should be brief and to the point. No recruiters has enough time in his hands to read your background story, infact these people just happen to blink an eye and end up reading your entire CV. Therefore, to convey your basic abilities to them, you need to keep it short so that your skills and experience are highlighted to the core.
• Efficient chronological arrangement is of pivotal importance when you create your Resume as it not only increases your chance of selection but also imparts a perfect image of yours on your recruiters. Because a good resume maker can do everything good in his upcoming business days.
• Mentioning relevant skills is a very important aspect that a lot of candidates happen to miss out. You can of course brief your important sports or debate oriented achievements but talking about irrelevant aspects in your CV like your hobby of gardening is totally absurd. A recruiter of an IT company is not really interested in how well you can sow seeds and plant trees so when you input your skills, you should be sensible and selective enough.
• Avoid using terms like 'hardworking' , 'proven ability' and other self appreciating words because you are the one who is creating your resume and there is no third party involved to testify its validity so its always better to be on the safe side.
• Weird twitter handles and wacky email addresses are a strict NO NO! You wouldn't want to have a bad impression on your recruiters when you send them emails from weird IDs such as 'heart hacker', 'powerpuff' and so on. You should portray yourself to be a responsible and credential candidate to your mentors.
