We have come across many resumes lately and there are a number of mistakes that a candidate makes because of which they get rejected at the early stage of an interview, so If you are not getting recruiter calls for interviews, you may need to look into some of the common resume mistakes to avoid in the below aspects.
A resume means a summary of your profile. In this case your professional profile. It is very important that your profile has a short and crisp summary at the top, which gives the recruiter a glimpse of what you are about. This summary at times becomes the main hook. So draft it very carefully.
Your CV should not be too long to feel like a novel or too short to feel like written by a novice or uninterested person. Depending on your career stage this will change but it should always have just about enough information for you to get a call.
Make sure you mention and highlight your skills on your profile. Many recruiters just do a Ctrl+F on the CVs to see if you have relevant skills. So if you miss out on mentioning these, you may miss out on an interview call. Also, honesty, sincerity and punctuality are not skills. They are personal virtues. These are not to be mentioned on paper but practiced at work.
Do not send a photo of your printed CV to the recruiter. It is very unprofessional and shows a very uncaring attitude. Plus they are not readable on most ATSs. Always have your CV in PDF format.
Your CV is your first impression of the company you are applying. A Rèsumè is not a one-size-fits-all document. DO NOT copy-paste someone else’s CV. It does not reflect who you are. Spend time building your Rèsumè or take professional help in doing so. You may need to customize your CV for every job you apply for. At 91HR, we give professional assistance in drafting your Rèsumè so that it gets maximum interview calls.
Recruiters don’t really go to read your whole resume, in fact, most of the resumes are prescanned by application trackers to weed out the unqualified candidates so make sure to tweak your resume according to the job you applying for. highlight your achievements and certifications
The four critical parts of the resume are
contact information, resume introduction, experience, skills, and education.
