RESUME TIPS - Part Three [next]

HOW TO GET SHORT LISTED FOR PROJECTS.

First you need to understand hiring managers in large companies or agencies no longer actually read every job application.

Key word searches are used to to process applications: to identify the right skills, or to reject unsuitable applicants.

This specialized recruitment software reduces the task of searching hundreds of resumes from hours to minutes.

This method selects only resumes containing the search criteria: this may be text detailing qualifications, experience, past companies or projects.

This speeds up the selection process: only suitable applicants will be selected to be short-listed or interviewed.

KEY WORDS

You should spend time and effort getting the precise content of relevant key words in your resume correct; be factual when detailing your skills & experience.

Time spent doing this is vital to success: even if you are the best candidate you can be rejected not hired at the first stage for neglecting to detailing your skills.

COMMON PROBLEMS

One of the most common is the employer cannot open or read your email resume; try using a less complex format to fix this problem.   [sample resume style]

Do it right first time by using either simple text or rich text format; test your efforts with friends, not a prospective employer.

FAX OR POST

Most employment agencies or large companies scan your posted or faxed resume using OCR (optical scanning recognition) software as the first step.

100% OCR scanning accuracy cannot be guaranteed: post or fax applications require precious time to process, you will be lucky to receive acknowledgement.

Hiring managers prefer the convenience of instant email access: why risk rejection by forcing managers to use outdated manual methods, email your resume.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most employers reaction to any complex document that takes minutes to open will be put it aside for later; or even worse deletion.

Resumes requiring ten minutes of precious time to re-format before downloading or to view will definitely go to the bottom of the pile, or straight in the waste bin.

ATTACHMENTS

Your resume like many others is probably be currently formatted in latest version of MS Word, Word Perfect. 

If you have prepared your resume on your company network beware.

Lurking in these files may be hidden problems for other networks: remove all macros, passwords, logos, graphics, columns, borders, company templates, these may not be compatible with other systems.

DOCUMENT SIZE

You have less than thirty seconds to attract the hiring managers attention; don't waste the opportunity to market your skills, edit your resume to four pages maximum

Focus on your current skills & experience; you can supply precise detail on request, or at interview.

VIRUS CHECK

Microsoft Word files in particular can be a serious virus risk: you should virus check your files to avoid instant rejection by employers.

APPLICATION LETTER

Combine your application & resume in one single attachment, it makes emails quicker to read, why risk the two documents being separated or lost.

ABBREVIATIONS OR JARGON

You may understand industry abbreviations; we certainly do but the person using key word searches may not, to avoid rejection try spelling out specific words plus still using abbreviations particularly with any technical terms.
