Thank you very much for your encouraging response to the previous article \u201cResume OR CV, Which one creates the desired impact<\/strong>\u201d. In continuation of this, today I\u2019ve thought to come up next article, \u201c5 key points to be kept in mind while writing a CV<\/strong>\u201d. Most of you must be aware that an average recruiter spends 6-10 seconds reviewing a CV. These stats may seem a bit scary for the jobseekers, but don\u2019t worry. The recruiters have a trained eye for important details and they know what to look in a CV. <\/em><\/p>\n

The following are the points to be kept in mind while writing a CV. \u00a0They are derived out of various aspects like recruiting software compatibility, ease of recruiters\/hiring managers, making CV stand out, and thus increasing the overall chances of CV getting shortlisted.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ATS Friendly: <\/strong>Most of the companies use ATS (Application Tracking Software) for their hiring. As soon as the Hiring Manager receives a CV, it is uploaded to the ATS for future communication or reference. Every ATS has specific file size specifications. Including a lot of graphics or boxes in the CV increases the file size. Thus, there is a possibility of content getting distorted or some vital information lost. To avoid this it is always recommended to use an MSWord (*.doc) file with a simple text format.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Length of the CV: <\/strong>This is a very critical component to be kept in mind while writing a CV. The length of a CV should never be more than 4 pages. If you choose a resume + cover letter, this entire pack should never exceed 3- 4 pages. Advantage, you save a lot of time from writing a lengthy CV, plus the recruiters and ATS are going to love it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Format: <\/strong>Reverse chronological order is highly recommended. With Professional summary at the top, followed by Educational qualifications, Technical Summary, Certifications, Extra Curricular, and Personal details at last. Always use a heading and bullet points format while writing a CV.<\/li>\n
      2. Content:<\/strong> The content should be focused to answer the question, Why are you the ideal candidate for this role. It should be rich in keywords. Language-Specific and easy to understand. Avoid using too many complicated words and phrases in an attempt to sound more skillful. Spelling and grammar mistakes are a big no-no.
        \n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Final Check: <\/strong>Before submitting the CV, do not forget to get it checked by your friend or a professional. Always include the References: will be available on request, in the last. References check is a very important step in the recruiting process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
