WHY YOUR RESUME ISN’T GETTING YOU INTERVIEWS
It is not Relevant
- Either your experience doesn’t match up to what is required of the position or it does and you have not shown how. Do you meet 80% of the qualifications noted in the job posting. If your education and experience are a match to the job requirements, make sure it is very clear in your resume. Use the same keywords and phrases as noted in the job posting. Don’t forget that includes Education, Experience, Certifications and Skills noted throughout the description of the position.
- Don’t assume that the recruiter will connect the dots. With responsibility for filling 10 – 50 job vacancies, they are simply too busy to do that job for you. You may very well have the background which is a perfect match for the position but you need to communicate that so the reader of your resume sees that within a few seconds. 6 seconds to be exact according to https://cdn.theladders.net/static/images/basicSite/pdfs/TheLadders-EyeTracking-StudyC2.pdf
