You have been searching for a job, maybe for quite a
while… You work hard at it, right? Sure you do. But, for
some reason employers aren’t calling you back.
In fact, it may seem like a mystery. Do you:
Sit at the computer day after day searching for
openings?
Email, fax, and post your resume to every
conceivable opening or site?
Check your voicemail and email constantly?
Receive more “rejection” letters than
acknowledgment letters?
Wonder why employers aren’t calling you back?
There is probably a good reason employers aren’t calling
you back – you might be surprised to find out why!
Don’t worry, at least you aren’t alone! Here are a six
reasons why employers aren’t calling you back:

1. Your contact information isn’t
correct.
I cannot count the number of times I email a resume
draft to a client using the email they have provided on
their original resume only to have it returned as
nonexistent or just not them. Double check that all of
your contact information is included on your resume
and that it is correct.

2. You didn’t include a cover letter.
A cover letter helps ensure that your resume ends up on
the right desk. At the very least, you will be able to
indicate what position you are applying for and/or to
what department. If you are lucky, you can direct your
information to a specific person for consideration.

3. You didn’t make it clear that you
meet the qualifications.
Use language the employer understands, not internal
jargon, proprietary names, or acronyms. Spell out what
you have done and can do clearly and objectively (not
to mention convincingly)! Use numbers and other
concrete examples whenever possible and appropriate.

4. You didn’t follow the application
directions.
Can you not read? Did you not understand? Did you not
care? These are some of the questions employers will
ask themselves about you… if they bother to consider
your application or think about you at all.

5. You didn’t follow up.
…And someone else did. Another applicant picked up
the phone, emailed, faxed, or sent a hard copy of their
resume after applying online. They know their resume
was received, and impressed the employer with their
follow up, communication, and organizational skills.
These resourceful candidates were called for an
interview.

6. The employer is still reviewing
applications or has decided not to hire.
Relax, it might not be anything you did or didn’t do!
Employers are tending to take longer for the hiring
process. Hiring and training someone is an expensive
prospect and the landscape is changing just as quickly
for employers as it is for job seekers.

Do all of the above and be patient! Have a plan and
re-evaluate it periodically, reading all you can about your
industry and job search/career planning. I look forward
to hearing that you got the job!

I have a question though. Is it ok to use a personal picture/passport and company logo (i.e where you worked) in your resume?

Because them neva top-up their phones

Address and cover letter , very important.

Or... You should be doing your own thing.

But why some wil only ask for your cv, is it compulsory to add cover letter in such situation

The employer is not calling you here because they are still reviewing. There's nothing you can do here; if you do a follow-up, (i.e. No. 6) you do not need No. 7. #MO

Ok
