Bangalore: In today's competitive corporate world, it is very difficult to create an ideal resume that will grab the attention of the recruiters. However, before posting the resume it is very important for every job seeker to know that it is quite difficult for recruiters to go through each and every resume, as they receive several resumes on the daily basis. Due to the heavy bulk of resumes they receive from the job seekers, most hiring managers have opted to use the automated process of hiring candidates.
According to Angie Jones of Careerealism most organizations today want the applicants to upload their CV's into database. However, it is very important for job seekers to realize that those database enclose thousands of resumes of job seekers. Therefore, in order to make the hiring process simpler recruiters with the usage of Industry related keywords tend to screen and sort out the resume of those applicants ideal for the position. Keep in mind that, more keywords in your CV mean that the better chances are there for your CV to reach the hands of the recruiters. Never think that the resume which used to grab the attention of recruiters several years ago will create wonders in the recent job market. Therefore, in order to make your resume exceptional, create a targeted resume that focuses on the needs of the recruiters.
In order to use the resume for several unrelated jobs, most job seekers today tend to create a general resume which according to the industry experts is a very common mistake, as by this your resume is most likely to get vanished into their vast black hole of a database. Apart from creating a targeted resume it is very necessary for the applicants to mention their professional achievements on the resumes. Your resume should highlight your caliber in the best possible way in order to compel the hiring managers to call you for the interview.
Further, some cases are extraordinary where the resume is just considered or taken as a formality. But most job interview calls are based on resumes. If a candidate has no idea to create an extraordinary resume he/she should not hesitate to seek the help of professional resume writers or go through books and sites that can help them compose a perfect resume.
