Have you been struggling to generate interviews?
Have you sent your CV to countless job openings but didn’t get any reply?
It’s time to turn your failures into success stories. What you need to do is change the content of your CV and the way you do other things. According to Albert Eistein, “Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different result is another way to define insanity.”
Right now, I want to show you 3 quick and simple changes that if made to your CV will virtually land you in front of interviewers ready to be hired, other factors falling into place.
Ready?
Quick and Simple Change #1: Prove Every Single Claim You Make On Your CV
Got communication skills? Don’t just list it, put a dash in front of it and write, “Presented proposal to Toyota representatives and won a contract worth $5 million!”
Got negotiation skills? Don’t just list it in bullet. Say you “renegotiated debt repayment and save company a whooping $3.75 million that kept the company afloat when competitors closed shop.” Get the idea?
It is not enough to say you can do this and that, prove them and you’ll succeed in increasing your response rate by more than 80%.
Quick and Simple Change #2: Shift Your Focus from Yourself to Employers
It is not uncommon to see jobseekers fill their CVs with they want, how they want it, and when they want it. (Yawns!) Who cares?
Listen up. Employers don’t give a flying fig about what you want; they care ONLY about what they and they ALONE want.
Your CV is not about you, it’s about the employers. I know you haven’t that before. Now, you know better.
Quickly take a look at your CV, did you write every section with the employers in mind? Did you tell them what’s in it for them? If no, make a 180 degree turn, yank off all those self-centered paragraphs, and write in clear terms the values you intend to add to employers. This change alone can triple your response rate!
Quick and Simple Change #3: Format your CV for easy reading
One of the major reasons most CVs fail is poor formatting. Most jobseekers don’t know how to format and design their CVs, and they’ve got no money to hire a professional to do the work.
Hey! When I talk about designs, I’m not talking about some fancy borders and fonts, sophisticated graphics, and glorified paintings -- none of such bells and whistles, please!
Here are the areas you need to format well for your CV to make for easy reading.
- Set up your page well. Your window size should be around 80% and 85%. Now, this is when you use Microsoft Word.
- Your paper size should be A4 preferably or what is popular in your country.
- Your view should be Print Layout.
- Bullet items in list.
- Stress key information by applying italics.
- Allow for enough white space.
- Use easy-to-read fonts like Verdana or Arial or Calibri.
Those are the 3 quick changes you need to make to increase your response rate. If you implement them you’ll increase the chances of employers calling you for interviews.
