How to make your resume is viewed more often

A person can spend hours improving resumes and hone language but all in vain: it is not read. Applicant upset, cursing the lack of professionalism of recruiters, algorithms, web sites and come up with conspiracy theories. But in fact, everything is much simpler.

Candidates often there are dozens, even hundreds of responses. In HR-specialists do not have time to read everything. Sites for job search allows you to view a list of sent separately without having to open and learn the most important thing: the competence, the last place of employment, salary expectations. If the document came to the post office, the employee should be interested enough to click on it.

So it is important to work not only on the summary, but also hard to make it for the start opened.

1. Adapt the name of a job resume

Let's say you've just retired as PR-manager, but agree to any job that feels like it. And here you are sending resume to job journalist, copywriter, the SMM-specialist, content manager and the head of the advertising department. But you still name is still written «PR-manager."

It is very likely your summary ignore, because the recruiter many relevant responses. Though if you have spent a moment to edit the title, it would be included in the sample.

I have repeatedly received for the post of commercial director resume Operations Managers (nothing like the leap, is not it?). Once in the position of sales manager flew "razgonyatel clouds."

Do not be lazy to redo CV. employment sites allow duplicate documents and edit individually. This is a great way to show individual approach to vacancies.

2. Add photo

Imagine yourself in the place of HR-specialists: You are viewing plate of "caps" job, in some pictures there, in the other - no. At what delayed you think? Of course, in the images.

Add a photo - a great way to attract attention. It humanizes the letters and numbers from a document and helps to win at this stage. But it is important that the image shows you a professional. That is, no shots from the beach, Self, sketches of family life. However, as the photo on the passport is also not the best option. It's boring, and the units are attractive in this format.

Living portrait photo in a business style - what you need.

3. Adequately assess the salary expectations

This line is important for HR-specialists. If the company's ability to match to your liking, it is an additional plus. Applicants who want a lot more, not suitable, if the employer is not willing to pay so much, why watch a resume? And when salary expectations significantly higher than the average salary in the market, it causes even more questions.

Often we see the amount of 2-3 times the upper straps on the market, and becomes interested in what was on the expert level of a god. Specify realistic expectations. And then it all depends on whether you stand its money or not.

4. Specify the key skills

This field has a number of sites for job search, and it is very important. First, algorithms sites recommend you jobs based on key skills. Secondly, they help HR-specialists to quickly identify, approach you for the position or not at all. So think, what are your most important competence. Chur stress tolerance and sociability are not accepted - this is all tired.

5. Carefully read the job description

Often, HR-specialists hiding there tasks on the care and diligence checks. For example, offer to start a letter by certain words. Even if your resume is perfect, will give preference to those who have found the strength to deal with the request.

If I see a response without performing such a task, it indicates that the applicant or inattentive, or consciously disregarded it - probably considers himself above and "came down" to their companies response.

6. Add a cover letter

Here, expert opinions diverge. When it comes to job sites and line positions, it is possible to do without a cover letter, if the job description stated otherwise. Most likely, the response will be so many that the personnel department staff will not to read additional materials.

Quite often, the question whether the read HR-specialists cover letter if it attracts attention at the start? Probably not. If interested recruiter resume, he is sure to examine all that you have given in addition to the CV.

But if you send a resume directly to a separate document, personalized covering letter It can be an incentive to be discovered. Ideally, it is necessary to write on the basis of the job - to deliver exactly what you fit the requirements of the company. Be concise, do not go deep into the maze and avoid formulaic, impersonal language.

Write with a capital letter when it is needed, place the point, do not abbreviate words. "N-r" instead of "example" is not save time, but cause confusion among the employer. Check your name and signature in the Mail settings. Write in your own words, imagine that your dream job comes another 20 responses with the same wording. Turn off-kopipaster robot.

7. Make readable document

If you send a resume as a separate file, make sure that it is opened on a computer destination without distortion. It is best suited for this PDF file: format not will float and reading programs have virtually any office computer.

8. Use alternative ways of finding work

on the recommendations of employment still works fine. Maybe because your resume and begin to open more frequently, but each view is the bull's eye, the document read.

It is equally important to respond quickly. If HR-specialist has selected stack liked summary of the first came, a great risk that the others see it will be gone. So do not just rely on the sites for job search.

Make friends with your HR interesting companies in the social networks, monitorte vacancies on quarry sites and Telegram-channels and to submit resume directly on these contacts. The active position increases your chance of getting a dream job.
