Do not make your resume or spam Why should I read your resume?

How many of them actually read your CV?

Judging by the fact that you are still in search of work, not all 200. "Dull mailing" in all possible and the impossible job - not the best way to find work.

Are you looking for a new job and send your CV to dozens and hundreds of jobs found on the sites of employment? But only get sporadic calls from recruiters and even more rare invitation to the interview?

Listen to my three tips and you will stop wasting their time, and even more - time recruiters. After all, they get to every job that's posted on the Internet to 80-90% totally unsuitable resume!

Do not turn your resume into the spam!

If you are still looking for a job as a spam machine, simply by clicking "attach a resume" and "send" - slow down, reconsider their action plan and make adjustments to the resume according to my advice.

Note that no normal recruiter will not send their jobs left and right, at random. None of us looks at job, paying attention only to the title and to the salary (as do many job seekers).

Shooting game shot by ineffective ... We work punctually.

What you need, your resume is the first step for the interview, and not to the trash and irritation HR-manager? Here are 3 reasons why I, recruiter, still read your resume:

1. Convince me that you really read the requirements for the required specialist. Completely and carefully read!

And if you have not read, what you do send us your CV?

You have read only the name of the job and the size of salaries? Imagine if you read only the name of the medication on the bottle and did not examine the possible side effects? It would be dangerous to your health?

If you only see the title of "director", but did not pay attention, because of what industry requires us to people - your image as the candidate has declined. If you are gone for only an attractive salary, but do not bother to read the mandatory requirements for candidates, worthless to your resume in the mailbox of the addressee.

If you send a resume in the calculation of "at random", if you explicitly do not be like under the employer's requirements - you are wasting both their time and the time recruiter. On most job recruiters have enough suitable candidates and your "maybe" never fails ...

And when recruiters are working on a very difficult job and the candidates are practically no, your "avdrugpovezet" -rezyume also will not help them, because such candidates recruiters "Hunt" is usually directly, without the help of the Internet.

To begin, let me know that you have read our requirements and wishes of the candidate. And they coincide with your skills and experience!

Write about it briefly in your cover letter or in the section "Purpose". 3-4 sentences, paragraphs 2-3. Give the recruiter to understand that your resume - not another spam resume.

If you do not have the section "Purpose" or a brief description of the key experience aimed at a particular position - do not send resume! Do not try to compensate for the lack of real qualifications of promises and assurances such as "quick learner", "will bring benefit for your company," "guarantee that the handle" and similar persuasion. Recruiters will not show their incompetence and show the client company unqualified candidates solely on the basis of your promise ...

Be sure that your qualifications are the same as the required minimum of 90%. You will save yourself and us a lot of time, honestly comparing their skills and position description. Make sure that you fit on each item, "fall" in the position description. Or at least 9 points out of 10. Otherwise, do not send resume, value yourself. Do not become self-spammer.

Increasingly Jobe sites you can see the desperate calls of recruiters in the text of Job: "Please send resume only if you fully meet the above requirements !!!" or something like that ... Sometimes this cry from the heart written in capital letters.

Pity recruiters ...

2. Convince yourself that your resume carefully formatted and configured for a specific vacancy.

Hopefully, you've already made several versions of your resume, changing their positions under the options?

Your photo should be a business. Instead of a series of "I and my car", "me and my ..." is not a party or a copy from the old passport. And fresh, ie not 3 hletny ago.

 Use 1 font, but you can 2 colors.

 It is reasonable to use the framework and allocation of bold and underlined.

 Write the names of the companies where you have worked, in capital letters.

 After write the company name, product or service that it produces or sells.

You will not believe, but in 40% of cases of summary it is not clear what industry working man and that his company was producing selling ...

Use bulleted lists (like this text) for the transfer of its responsibilities, facts and achievements; do resume readable.

Nothing extra. Focus on specific job requirements and do not play the station wagon. Recruiters are browsing resume quickly in search of information confirming the existence of the skills they need.

Not stretching the truth and do not exaggerate. All will reveal later. For example, HR-managers are now all entirely "coaches" and "trainers". As it turned out at a recent interview with the candidates, four mentioned in the summary of its allegedly Training experience was actually alcohol conversation with the workers of the construction company and the performance of the meeting with a brief "motivational" speech. The 10-minute speech with a deep sense of "on the job we have to work" - is not coaching ...

Explanatory recruiter should always get to the bottom and easily calculate your Linden grandiose achievements.

3. Saturate summary of key words and phrases, coinciding with the position description and technical terms used in your industry and business.

If you are sure that a fully fit the job requirements - do not miss the chance, make sure that the resume has all the answers, that is, on each request to the candidate have your approval or better - confirmation. Prove it on paper first.

If what you are - right candidate, only you know, but certainly it is not clear from the summary, your recruiter about this guess?

Include in your resume specific keywords, as do Internet marketing for search engines to find their web pages. The recruiter scans per day 100-200 resume, it is like that little Google, which is a ton of paper looking for specks of gold ore for keywords, vigilantly looking out for them in the text. Do not let yourself miss and the recruiters who view summary less vigilantly, on the diagonal.

Remember, too, that some recruiters looking for candidates not only (and not so much) on job-sites, but also with the same Google or Yandex, using the same keyword phrase. Let them find you!

In fact, the presence of a summary of key phrases and terms that match the job description - this is the main reason to the recruiter to call you!

Only then can he be sure that you do (and carefully) read the text of the vacancy and pre-estimate yourself. That you have spent a primary self-selection.

Of course, I can not guarantee that everything recruiters will pay more attention to your resume. But now you know better, what they expect from your resume that it increases your chances, and that help recruiters do not miss you in the stream resume ..

Save your time and your recruiters read job description, compare with it the qualification, take my conclusions and do not send resume "at random". Focus on the fact that there are recruiters only 3 of these reasons to call you ...
