TOP 5 ERRORS MADE IN EVERY EXECUTIVE RESUME

www.resume.ae

So you are an individual with over 20+ years of experience in your desired field or industry and you want your resume to scream that fact out loud. What is the first thing that you do? Overcrowd your resume with everything that you’ve done under the sun. But is that what employers are looking for? The answer is a definite no.

And filling up your resume with too much information (relevant or irrelevant) are not the only mistakes that you may be making in your Executive Resume. Watch out for these mistakes and make sure that you avoid them as much as possible:

·         Error #1: No clear designation – Recruiters need to have a fair idea about what it is that you currently do and without a brief headline, they are not sure of how your experience can be a benefit to the organization. Start your resume with a clear title describing your role and that should be an attention grabbing tact in itself.

·         Error #2: Wordy Profile Summary Section – It’s not unusual to see executives use multiple words and lengthy sentences to show their complexity. But keep in mind that too many words in one go sounds like a muddle and discourages readers to glance through your resume. Use short, impactful statements to convey your points.

·         Error #3: Non-existent keywords – These days, recruiters use ATS software to review resumes as this cuts down the amount of effort involved in reading through thousands of resumes. To make your CV more easily readable by the software, make sure to include as many keywords as possible to increase the possibility of your resume being read by employers.

·         Error #4: Emphasis on job descriptions – Almost all employers who are looking to hire candidates will be aware about the job description of the designation. So to emphasize on the job description is unnecessary. The focus instead should be on the achievements that you have acquired throughout your career.

·         Error #5: Not customizing your resume according to the company and the position you are applying for – Tailoring your resumes in alignment with the company’s requirements are a fool-proof way to earn yourself some brownie points. When recruiters know that a conscious effort has been made to highlight your skills and the value you would be adding to their organization, you boost the chances of receiving the much-awaited interview call.
