Today’s lesson : ” CV/Resume Revamping ” 👇🏾📝📃
• What is to ” Revamp ” ? 👇🏾
- Revamp or revamping is an act of improving the form, structure, or appearance of something.
• Similar words : Renovate, remake, remaster, customise.
• Purpose Of Revamping a CV :
- It’s very sad in South Africa, people complain about unemployment rate where as there are many different positions in different companies unfilled, below might be the reason for unemployment rate.
- Most CV’s include unnecessary information that gives employers a reason to disqualify you. Revamping gives your CV a comprehensive form that catches or attract the eyes of the employer.
Friends here are some of the reasons why your CV will be rejected.
- Spelling and grammar errors,
- A candidate picture, especially an inappropriate photo.
- CV format, you should always stick to pdf.
- Inaccurate dates, ensure that you have accurate start and finish dates, usually stipulating the month and year. A CV without this information will make a recruiter think you are trying to hide something.
- CV length- most companies will only be interested in the last 5 to 10 years of your career, 10 to 5 pages are not necessary, 3 page CV will do perfectly.
- Lack of contact details.
- Writing your CV in a third person.
- Too much personal information, is a waste of space. A recruiter does not need to know your height, weight, health, politically affiliation, Religion, Hobbies, marital status or sexual orientation.
- Misleading information, more companies are now carrying out extensive background checks. Stretching the truth could land you in hot water.
- Long paragraphs.
If you’ve been out of the employment game for a while, or if it’s been a long time since you were job hunting or switched roles, chances are your CV or resume template is out of date. Continuing technological advancements and shifting priorities have altered the expectations of the CV in the modern recruitment process.
