Often we wonder why “I am not getting any calls” from the recruiter despite meeting all the requirements. We keep on updating and posting and re-posting our Resume on the leading job portals. We keep on applying and waiting… so what you should do? Will you print your resume in a yellow sheet to get noticed? Not really…
One fine day a representative from a leading job portal calls you and says “Dear…… your resume is in an outdated format, if you pay us (any X amount) we shall get it done in the best format (AS PER THEM) and you shall be noticed by the Employers”. So what they will do print your resume in a yellow sheet? Not at all…
Does the presentation of your resume really matter? Or is it the “Matter” in the Resume that matters?
Many would like to know the recruiters working either in Corporate or Manpower Consultancy; how do they evaluate the resume of an Individual?
I have been into recruitments for almost 10years. I worked with leading Manpower Sourcing firms as well as a large corporate house. What matters is not the presentation but the work the person has done and exhibited in his/her career. He might be an excellent performer but may not be able to present his skills in the right way on a paper. It’s the recruiter’s responsibility to evaluate a resume on the basis of the experiences and not on how good the resume is looking. An individual must have written so many things in his/ her resume that he/she may or may not be doing. Thanks to social network sites, personality of the candidates could easily be assessed. The next day you call such a person for an Interview and you can very well see the result.
“In my opinion it’s in the eyes of the Recruiter to judge the right resume of the right fit for Organization
