Delete these from your CV: 1. Marital status 2. Your high school and primary details if you have attended college 3. Your Religion 4. Your hobbies. Nobody is going to shortlist your CV because you love traveling (Unless it is a travel agent job :). 5. Non-professional email addresses. Ensure that your email address is professional and appropriate for job applications. 6. Long Paragraphs, instead use bullet points to present information clearly and concisely. 7. Irrelevant work experience. Example: you are applying for an accounting job and you indicate that you have been working as a sales executive of XYZ company. Adding extra stuff just to make your CV longer can hurt your chances. Keep it short and to the point by only including what matters. *I understand that the hiring manager may be considering candidates from their personal network, but you need to make an effort to demonstrate qualifications and value as a potential candidate*. #resume #CV #interview #job

"This was one of the nicest email I got as a rejection email, thank You! I admit, I never thought I have the skillet for the role, but wanted to get my CV in front of recruiters for other possible vacancies." Please don't do this. In recruitment, how you present yourself is critical. For me, applying for roles you aren't at least a 50% match for erodes your credibility. I know it's tough to find roles out there right now and a lot of recruitment "group think" advice says to apply for a role and "They might have someone else for you" but you have to overcome the stigma that you are applying for everything and aren't taking the job search seriously. If you want to get your CV in front of a Recruiter here is how I'd advise. Send an email directly and be clear concise with the title - Marketing Director - FS - London - Looking for something new. Keep the email brief, it doesn't need to be war and peace just a quick elevator pitch covering off the basic details and then what you are looking to achieve. Don't put a salary range! I know it sounds crazy but a better way is to say what salary you are looking to achieve. £100k - £125k - is too big a range and initially, you think they are on £100k and are changing their arm. A better way is: I'm looking to achieve a minimum of £120k Let your CV do the talking, make sure the CV is up to date and gives a comprehensive overview of you. Don't ask for a call - Most recruiters are really busy right now working on roles that they have on desk so networking/pipelining new candidates is a nice to do. I would suggest that you give them a time for a call normally on a Thursday Afternoon or Friday Morning. As I said it's advice but as there is a wave of people starting to look for new roles and what to get on the appropriate recruiters radar it will help position you in the right light. #recruitment #digitalmarketing

How to Write a CV/Resume for UK or US Job Applications Having been a recruiter for 30 years in UK and US, I have seen changes in the job applications and cv/resume submittal. On average, a recruiter gives a cv/resume 5-8 seconds for initial perusal so you need to be clear in your profession and what you are looking for. No need for a cover letter anymore No photos of oneself unless you are applying for modelling or promotions work No personal details about religion, marital status, age etc. No need for objectives unless it is pertinent to the job, i.e. Looking for part-time, weekend work only. Keep it to no more than 2 pages, 1 preferably. Make it chronological with the most recent position/ job at the top. Ensure dates are stated including months and years Briefly explain gaps. I.E. March 2020- February 2021, Laid off due to pandemic Avoid use of ambiguity and what we call in the business, word salad. Leadership, team player, dynamic, customer focused etc. Instead use definitive examples. I.E. Procurement Manager. In 3 years saved the company $1.2million by streamlining the supply chains and implementing a just in time purchasing scheme. Avoid acronyms, you may know what they mean, does not mean to say, the reader does. Avoid the obvious i.e. Nurse. Daily blood pressure readings. Avoid hobbies unless they are relevant to the job. I.E. Mechanic. Member of the Restoration Society for Older Vehicles. In all, keep it easy to read, don't have anyone guessing or wondering, they won't indulge you by calling to get answers. Keep it concise and clear, recruiters do not have time to be reading through everything to figure out what the person wants or does. Good luck with your job search.

Recruiter :- we have so n so vacancy, please share your CV on mail id. Job seeker: Can you brief the details of JD, maximum budget/CTC, location, etc. recruiter : no, first you share your CV we will do screening and interview then after we discuss it. Job seeker shows less interest for further in this scenario. Conclusion: Detailed requirement is time saver for both job seeker and recruiter. Because job seekers also wanted to know a few things to get better clarity and manage his / her needs. whether he/she should apply or not. Priorities are set for both sides and finding good candidature is quite difficult due to less information in vacancy. #information #importance #thoughts

I posted couple of #Jobposts recently. 🤔 I've observed that many candidates skip reading the job post thoroughly before applying - a whopping 80% times candidates do not read job post completely! 📌 Applying for a job? Remember these tips: - Ensure your CV aligns at least 70% with the job requirements. - Clearly state the position you are applying for in the email subject. - In the email body, include your years of experience, industry, current and expected salary, notice period, and location. This will help recruiter so much. We receives sometimes 100's of mails its overwhelming. By following these simple steps, you not only make the recruiter's job easier but also increase your chances of getting a faster response to your application. 🚀 Regards, Your Recruiter. #Job #Vacancies #JobPost #RecruitmentTips
