Why do interviewers reject applicants

Candidates who make an excessively low payment request come off as needy or unappreciative. 

There is no clear career path. 

Job searchers who are unsure of their career goals sometimes struggle to identify or take advantage of pertinent possibilities. 

When someone doesn't know what they want, their time is wasted.

Things to keep in mind while writing resume/ CV

Is your Resume/CV ATS optimized: 

• Many firms use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to scan and assess your CV before human even take a look at it.
• In order to determine whether you're a good fit for the position, the ATS searches for specific keywords in the job description.

• When creating your CV, be sure to include the keywords that are used the most in the job description. Make sure to naturally incorporate these terms into your resume rather than simply copying and pasting them.

*Keyword matching - specific terms related to job qualification like skills, experience, education. 

2. Optimized your resume according to keyword to rate or score in ATS. If your CV is not optimized, your CV is out of luck. Even you are meeting all criteria according to advertise. 

3. Remember your first interview with a robot. It could be disregards before a human ever sees it.

How can you ensure that your CV/resume is ATS optimized? 

a. Use relevant keywords : 

Look at the job description and identify and incorporate into your resume in a meaningful way. not just copy-paste 

• Key skills 
• Competencies 

b. Simple formatting: 

ATS can struggle to read overly complex layouts. Keep your CV 

• clear
• simple 
• easy to read 

c. No images or graphics: 

ATS cannot read images or graphics. So keep your resume text based.

d. Quantify your bullet points rather than daily duties. Need not to write daily duties in every column of experience. 

e. Most importantly use only standard section headings. ATS recognized only standard section headings like

• Experience
• Education
• Skill
• Summary

Do not try to creative. Stick to these. 

👉Professional Title

• The majority of job seekers struggle to express their career goals in plain language on their CVs by adding a professional title.

• It will say what kind of employment position you are looking for and be at the top of the page. You can place "Project Manager" or "Marketing & Sales Associate" just beneath your contact information and above your professional summary to let the recruiter know exactly what position you're looking for.

Example: 

Recently, I did an ATS of a MEP manager CV. I found 61% match. When I change the position title according to the job description from MEP manager to senior MEP manager, the match score changes to 73%. Superb.

Recommendation: 

Before forwarding a CV, you must change the job title (written in the experience summary) according to the job description.

👉Professional Summary 

• Shall begin with your current position or year of experience. For example, a Construction Project Manager with PMP,QCDD certification... or a Construction Project Manager with 20 years of demonstrated experience....

• A summary is a short statement that highlights your professional experience, accomplishments, and skills.

👉Body of resume/CV

• Keep your resume simple and unflashy or colorful

• Italics and different fonts should be avoided.

• Keep it short - usually no more than two pages.

• Excessive personal information, such as age, religion, and sexual orientation, should be avoided.

• Avoid writing in the first person; instead, start sentences with verbs.

• Make a list of your professional experience in reverse chronological order. Don't forget to provide a quick note clarifying any gaps.

• Use bullet points for accomplishments and responsibilities; emphasize recent employment over former positions unless they were especially pertinent to the position you are seeking.

• List educational institutions and credentials in reverse chronological order.

• Include computer and linguistic skills as well as any related training, certification and specialized diploma courses.
