Reasons why the resumes get rejected !!(part 2)
10.What’s your USP- Focus on your abilities and not on your achievements. Try to give a detailed summary of your profile and then mention your qualification.
11.Previous track record- The companies do look for your previous set of responsibilities, the tenure of your jobs, had you been a job hopper or a stable employee. So try to put yourself into the shoes of the reviewer and then judge where your candidature stands.
12.Photo, document size- Unless and until you have been asked to provide your photograph and other details like blood group, height, weight, eyesight, don’t add these details. Moreover, keep the size of your resume under 400KB, as large file sizes are not appreciated.
Summary:
13. Too much/too little information
14. Irrelevant Information
15. Poor presentation
16. Spelling mistakes
17. Not targeted to position
18. No personality or enthusiasm
If you are a job seeker, your resume is the most important piece of written work you will ever create. Make it good or don’t be surprised when that rejection letter arrives in your email or mail box.
Be careful!
