Top 8 Reasons Why Your Resume Gets Rejected
The worst feeling for anybody searching for a job is when they fail to get success
in their expedition. Sometimes people apply for jobs (hundreds in some cases),
but fail to get any response from the companies. Lucky ones sometimes get a get
a letter of rejection or an email, but the
majority will simply get no response
from the recruiter.
Even though it seemed like everything
went really well in the interview, still
people fail to get a call from the
employer. Some people even fail to get
an interview call for the job they’ve
applied. So, what mistake did you make
in your job application because of
which you failed to secure the interview
call?
Here are the top 8 reasons why you were not selected for an interview.
1. Did You Have The Qualifications Required For The Job? How close your
qualifications match the requirements posted by the recruiter for the job? In
today’s highly competitive world, usually candidates applying match or even
exceed the job requirements. So, they easily secure interviews.
2. Did you submit a complete application? Ensure that all the information
required on the job application should be provided by you.
3. Was your application mistake free? Did you write proper & correct
employment dates? Did you fill the right salary amount? Have you ensured
that you filled all the necessary information asked by the employer? Before
scheduling interviews, some employers verify employment history of the
candidates, which makes submitting the right & accurate dates highly
essential.
4. Did you work hardly to prepare your resume? Ensure that you resume
showcase skills and accomplishments which are related to the job you’re
targeting. Explain clearly that how you added value in your previous
internships, jobs, or any other work?
5. Have you made your resume in a well organised way, so that the most relevant
points can be easily located by the HR solutions department of your
employer’s company?
6. Did you write an accurate cover letter which focused primarily on the
requirements of the job you have applied for? Ensure you make it very clear in
the cover letter that you have the required skills, experience and knowledge
which will help you to perform well on the job, if selected.
7. Did you submit a cover letter which was long enough to make a compelling
case for you to secure interview and later the job? Did you made sure that the
cover letter was not so dense that the recruiter wouldn’t even read it? Keep
your letters 3 to 5 paragraphs long, with each paragraph not more than 8 lines.
8. Did you make sure that each application document which you sent to the
employers was error free and well written? Ask others (friends & family
members) to review and proofread your resume and cover letter.
