We are hiring… We are recruiting…..Join our team!
These are the mouth-watering statements that always catch the attention of every professional and job seeker especially when they come from big and renowned organizations.
This is the perfect time to roll up the sleeves, immediately review the CV and bring the dream into reality. Applying for a lucrative job, and looking for that it goes extremely well – in fact, it beats your goal. But every CV does not work. Sometimes we are left wondering, “Why didn’t my CV get an interview call?”
A friend recently asked for my input on why her CV failed. She was using a well-formatted and professionally written resume, but she didn’t get a single interview call.
After hearing my friend, I reviewed my own strategy and came up with a framework to analyze 5 different key questions of a winning CV. I have derived these questions after detailed discussions with renowned international recruiters and our talented team of CV writing at ProfilePen.com (that is now warriorcv.com).
When a CV fails to get you an interview, it’s usually for you ignore one or more of these 5 questions to answers. But good news is that you don’t have to face the failure if you use this framework of key questions. It doubles and attracts a segment of hiring managers who you are looking at.
- What have you done to improve current and previous organizations?
- How you are the right fit for a certain position?
- Does your CV show a visible desire to do more?
- Does your resume include the areas of expertise at least 3/5 matching the job’s skill sets clearly described in the job vacancy?
- Is there a balance of accomplishments under each job in your CV?
These elements are working for us for last few months. But, my team and I have to stay deeply engaged at every step of crafting a CV. Regular resume writers explore your regular accomplishments. But, we deal with different factors that calibrate and recalibrate an applicant’s desire to do more and a balance of accomplishments. It is exactly like running with the bowling ball down the lane to make sure we hit all the pins.
Whatever job post you’re applying for, you could benefit from above mentioned tricky questions for your upcoming CV. I would also recommend checking out the company’s profile and essential skills and requirements published in a job post.
So keep these points in your mind when you give your resume a last check before dropping your CV in any organization!!
