#applicationclinic - Refining Your Resume

During the latest session, our recruitment expert Dayna, met Mr Jayendra Kartheek G. He has been proactively updating his resume so he wouldn’t miss out on potential opportunities. After looking at his resume, she highlighted the following mistakes and how to address them:

1. Readability improvement – Each section of the resume consisted of complex sentences with multiple adjectives and nominal sentences. Dayna suggested shortening the paragraphs and focusing on one idea at a time. It makes the text easier to understand and helps the employer in understanding the essential skills.

2. Relevancy of content – It is necessary to ensure the resume is relevant to the role that Jay is applying for. Dayna has recommended Jay to tailor his resume based on the job’s description. This helps to demonstrates his alignment with the job and pass the applicant tracking systems (ATS) screening process.

3. Key inputs on personal qualities – Jay was convinced that sharing about his personal traits such as conflict management, leadership and grit in his professional summary is just as important as the skills and qualifications. As this will encourage his potential employer to determine that he is a good fit for the company’s culture.
