Tips to Create Resume that gets you Job Interviews

A qualified resume should be more than just a job summary…it has to be an advertising document that symbolizes you in the strongest, most potent method possible and sells you for the job opportunity.

The majority job seekers don’t have a resume that does this well.  If you aren’t getting shortlisted for interviews, probability is your resume isn’t playing an integral role. The good information is that most of the time, all it takes is a small number of simple changes.
We give you few tips… about editing
1) Tactical Editing
Lack of appropriate editing can slaughter a resume in spite of a candidate’s experience. Equally, strategic editing can reduce all types of possible red flags and shows that you respect a recruiters time, which is always pleasing. Apart from the good practice of maintaining the document limited to 2-3 pages, here are few tips to trim down disorder and maximize impact:
Combine together short-term or contract positions into a “Short-Term projects Highlights” or similar section in your Work Experience. This section would use 1 bullet per job mentioning a key achievement, as well as the accurate job title, company name, and dates
If you’ve played roles of steadily increasing responsibility within the same organization, you are not compelled to list each position or role in detail. Instead, focus on the most recent position and, within the “Key Achievements” or related section, add a line that references the previous jobs. An example would be “Promoted from Marketing Associate to Marketing Manager during tenure.
Only include education and training programs that are related to the type of job you’re looking for. You have the choice to leave everything else out.
All the best in your job search!
