Resumes/CV’s
When you think about getting a job, the first thing that comes to mind is how you get the employer’s attention. A resume is the first answer to that. This is a way for you to present yourself to a prospective employer. It is a piece of paper that details your personal background in such as way as to generate enough interest in the mind of the employer so that you are asked to meet face to face.
An employer does not have time to meet with every person who wants to work for them. Oftentimes, hundreds of resumes can be sent in for a single job opening. No one has time to meet with hundreds of job candidates to determine if they are right for the job or not. A resume gives the employer a way to evaluate an individual prior to a job interview. When an employer receives a stack of resumes, there is usually a quick scan of each resume to determine if it should be read fully. Very little time is actually spent reading the resume during this first stage. What the employer is first looking for is anything to weed out a candidate from the rest of the stack. This is the main reason that a resume has to be so well-written. Any typos or grammar errors could be the cause for elimination even if the job candidate is otherwise outstanding.
If the goal of a resume is to obtain an interview, then the resume has to lead the employer to that goal. The best way to do that is to make sure it is accurate, contains no typos or grammar errors and highlights the job candidate’s skills and accomplishments as amazingly as possible.
