Have you updated and uploaded your resume to the most popular job site? Still, not getting calls; or whatever calls you are getting are not suitable to your profile.
Why it is happening like that? Even after listing out all the details, why you are not getting suitable interview calls? Whenever you get a job call, why the caller is asking so many silly questions when the required information is already there in your resume? If you are facing this kind of questions, read this article to find a solution for your problem.
Preparing a resume, which lists out all your details either in a chronological format of in a functional format, is a tedious job.
After you spent a lot of time gathering all these details and painstakingly presenting them in an easily understandable format (from your point of view) and upload the same in a popular job site, it is natural that you expect immediate calls from prospective employers.
What if you won't get calls as you had expected; the only solution is that you need to re-inspect your resume from an employer point of view.
Step into the shoes of your prospective employer.
Then review your resume.
You will come out with a list of blunders/mistakes.
Why it happens like that? It is natural that job seekers while they prepare resume, their thoughts and ideas wander about what they have been doing and since how many years they have been doing the same job, etc, details.
But, the employer may want something which is little bit extension of what you have been doing but has not listed that skill in your resume.
When the employer does not find his/her required keyword, which describes the skill s/he wants, you resume will simply be ignored.
This happens quite often unless until you insert right keywords, which lists out all your skills and talents, in your resume.
The keywords can give life to your resume; if proper keywords, which describe your skills are placed in your resume, it won't take much time that your resume will be picked up in a jiffy and you start getting interview calls.
The second important point is about how you should present your resume.
Once your resume got picked up by the prospective employer, it is decided that you crossed the first level of screening.
Now, in the second level, your resume should compete with others so that it can again be picked up and pass to the next level.
Here, the looks of the resume will play important role.
The employer may not pay good amount of time studying your details.
Since the time is scarce, the employer may give a glance through your resume instead of reading it line by line.
To attract the employer, your resume should have an optimum worded and professionally designed colorful layout.
The layout colors should not be glaring; do not use dark colors.
Insert whitespace between sentences.
Make sure the spacing between the letters of the words is consistent.
Check the Heading levels.
Check, the details you have listed; these details should be relevant to the job you are applying for.
If not, modify these details and then apply for the target job.
Scan through the Cover Letter, whether it summarizes your details in a proper way or not.
Use tables depending up on the density of the information you are presenting.
In summary, analyze your resume thoroughly.
The secret to get interview calls lies in your detailed and attractive resume.
If you are not satisfied with the volume of the calls, tweak your resume a little bit and pay the game.
Best of luck!
