You may think your resume is already tip-top, but put yourself in the shoes of a recruiter. Hiring managers receive dozens - sometimes hundreds - of resumes for any given opening. They don't have the time or resources to review each one closely, so they spend approximately six seconds on their initial "fit/no fit" decision. To them, most look exactly like all the other nondescript resumes in their pile. If you’re using the same tired phrases as everyone else, you’re not as exciting—or as hirable—as you thought you were. You may be perfect for the job, but just one typo, if it's formatted poorly, or you use the wrong font, could get them to say a NO. So, here prepare to not face such a situation at all: 1. Avoid meaningless adjectives A resume can fail to make the impact with

Writing the perfect resume is still the cornerstone of a successful job search in today's digital age. An eye-tracking study by Ladders found that the average recruiter spends only six seconds reviewing a resume before deciding if it’s worth a closer inspection. Now, have a look at the one you have in your mail. It's heavy, cluttered, scattered and dead boring. Just ask yourself, would you like to read it if you were the hiring manager? If the answer is NO, it explains why you need to get rid of that Clutter in it and make it simple yet appealing. Several job researches have indicated that candidates with a simple, crisp and clear resume have been hired more by companies over candidates with fancy and complex ones. This is not to say you cannot be creative with it. You just need to be careful

We’re all tempted to use words that we’re not too familiar with. We throw them around in meetings, e-mails and important documents (such as resumes and client proposals), and they land, like fingernails across a chalkboard, on everyone who has to hear or read them. No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, using words incorrectly can change the way people see you and forever cast you in a negative light. You may not think it’s a big deal, but if your language is driving people up the wall you need to do something about it. It’s the words that we think we’re using correctly that wreak the most havoc, because we don’t even realize how poorly we’re coming across.

A CV would generally cover the education, complete summary of previous work experience, publications, awards and honors received and other details that will throw enough light on the candidate’s caliber and accomplishments.
