To further improve your odds of being succesful in your quest for a new career, the first steps have to involve getting your application back up to scratch. Many times this list of hints helpful in working through your resume to make sure it highlights the prominent features of your candidacy to make you seems to be the strongest candidate.
- Punctuation - Research for accurate use of commas and semi-colons. Once more, if you are doubtful, refer to the Gregg Reference Handbook.
- Hyperlinks - All e-mail and web addresses that you list need to be deactivated in your resume. To do this in MS Word, highlight the link, go to the “Insert” drop down menu, scroll down to and click “Hyperlink”, and on the lower left-had side of this screen there should be a little button that says “Remove link”, when you find it, give it a little click and voila! Alternatively, you can highlight the link, right click on it, and scroll down to “remove link” to deactivate the link.
Cv is an excuse to reject you. Once you send me your cv, i can say, “oh, they’re missing this or they’re missing that,” and boom, you’re out. . That might be fine for average folks looking for an average job, but is that what you deserve?
If you don’t have a resume, what do you have? How about three extraordinary letters of recommendation from people the employer knows or respects?. Or a sophisticated project they can see or touch? Yeah, that’s my point.
