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!
These examples of common pitfalls were found in different candidates’ CVs
• I have a desire to work with commuters
• Hi, I want 2 get a job with U
• I hate filling in application forms so much that I’ll give you details at the interview
• Lurnt Word Perfect computor and spreadsheet pogroms
• I am a concious individual

Reasons why the resumes get rejected!!
- Eligibility – Always check before applying for any job whether you are eligible for it or not. Sometimes one may get disqualified for being over/under qualified. Read thoroughly whether you are fitting into the requirements of the organization or not. There is no good in being ambitious without being eligible.

Create your winning cv
Let me give you some points to create your winning CV:
Strong opening statement
This is the first thing an employer looks at on your CV, make it relevant to your expertise. More so, make it relevant to the position you are applying for. Avoid general statements, tailor your statement to include the most important skills you have, and your strongest qualifications. If you are confident of your skills, write them in a compelling manner in this statement.
Employers look for Skills
If a company has advertised for a software developer opening, they will be looking at your experience relevant to software development. Highlight your experience and skills relevant to the job. As a general rule your experience should be at the top of your CV after your statement. If you are a fresh graduate, list your graduate project in a professional manner.
Customize your CV for the Job
Remember one golden rule for a prosperous career, customize yourself to the Job, get the right attitude, the right skills for the job. Similar is the case of your CV, if you are really longing for a job in a particular company, then make the extra effort of know more about the company, their skill and education requirements and customize your CV according to their required skills. If you have relevant experience, then that experience should come at the top, right after your mission statement.
Write what you can do
To put it straight, do not write anything you are not capable of. An employer will look at your skills and might ask you questions about those skills in the interview. Your CV is a question paper for the employer, they will probably ask about everything listed there.

To do and Not to do with your cv
CV format
Do use:
Bold to highlight headings and subheadings.
Font sizes to distinguish between headings and other text.
An 11 or 12 point font size.
A font style that is easy to read.
- Serif fonts are easier to read on paper.
- Times New Roman is a good standard example, but Bookman or Garamond is effective alternatives.
Tables to align columns of writing (If needed).
Getting started
· Purpose of a CV is to get an interview
Your CV is a very important document; with it rest your hopes and dreams for the future - that next step up the career ladder, a better position, more money, new challenges, etc. Your CV therefore has to represent the best you have to offer if you do not want to miss out on that job you saw which was 'perfect' for you. So, it’s a main purpose is to get you an interview; where you can step out and prove yourself, your background and experience
