Why Recruiters Are Deleting Your CV On Sight by BusinessInsider: 11:53am On Aug 29, 2017 |
Here are the main reasons recruiters are deleting your CV; read more at http://www.thecareertimes.com/why-recruiters-are-deleting-your-cv/ Typos. There is no reason why your CV should have typos in 2017!. There are many CV writing services out there. Invest in a good CV, it’s pretty much a summary of your life achievements. Make it a good one. Too Lengthy. With the exception of a handful of individuals such as Elon Musk or Dangote, there is no reason why you cannot fit your CV into 2 pages max. Anything longer, and your run the very high risk of your CV being dumped in the trash. Keep it short, punchy, concise and readable. No Cover Letter. A cover letter serves one major function, it lets the recruiter know whether they’d like to find out more, or just delete the CV. Your cover letter needs to be a paragraph long summary of why you specifically are suited to the job being advertised. Begging, desperation etc have no place in your cover letter. Net fishing vs pole fishing. When you fish with a net, you catch all sort. However, when you fish with a pole you catch one fish at a time. A lot of job seekers ‘net fish’-they use one CV to apply for 100 jobs. You need to ‘pole fish’ in your job search – customise your CV to each job you are applying for. Best believe recruiters know when you have sent out a generic CV. No relevance. If you know you do not possess the qualifications required for a job, don’t apply. Rather spend your time enrolling on courses or gaining experience that will increase your value proposition. Rambling. In CV writing, bullet points are your friend. Use them to summarise and highlight parts of your CV that are relevant to the position you are applying to. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

These are the reasons I can think of 1. When HR have received 10,900 CVs for just 3 available positions. 2. When you don't have strong connection politically 3. When you don't have personal links with the MD of the company 4. Most important one, when God never step into the matter. 54 Likes 3 Shares |

Why are people saying rubbish here. You applied for job in another's man's business and he treats and pays you the way he feels is OK and you are crying foul. If you think he's not treating you well then quit. 1 Like 1 Share |

Well, let the job seekers keep crying foul and waste their time updating CVs so as to be employable rather than thinking up great ideas that will create wealth . I hate pitying them. If you are not comfortable the way your employers treat you or your CV then go and create your own job otherwise keep quiet. 2 Likes |

Enough of all dis "I TOO KNOW" about CV ish. For any vacancy, let the employer roll it out inform of form, let d applicants fill in their details, if qualified, invite them and adk for their original credentials. Rather than sending cv to one useless HR who doesn't have time to check it, or selecting sent CV based on gender. |

This post is suitable in a civilized country were they put more premuim on merit in job recruitment. Not in Nigeria were its 97 percent who-you-know to get a job even without sumiting any cv or credentials. Hundreds of thousands of applicants will submit CV wich wich will not even be opened at all! The grace of God is wat sustain us in this country and not about the quality of ur CV! 4 Likes |
