It's hard to say without seeing the resume itself. But my favorite piece of advice is to don't have a ';one resume fits all';. Meaning, don't make a resume and hand out the same one for 25+ positions. Try to personalize the resume to fit the postition. You can do this by reading the job description and making sure that their requirements and preferences are highlighted in your resume. For example, if they are looking for a project supervisor, highlight your skills that would fit that position. Yes, it may be a lot more work. But it shows that you are serious and are really interested in the positon.
Good Luck!!!My resume doesn't seem to be getting any reviews..Any tips or advice?
Hi without knowing what you are applying for or the contents of your resume, it is very difficult.
Consider reading the book 'tough answers for tough interview questions'; - it is one of the best books on applying for jobs I have found.
the article http://www.hrzone.co.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi鈥?/a> will help you.
Make sure there are NO spelling mistakes
there is good formatting
use of appropriately language/ jargon
do you customize each CV for each job?
do you include a job and company specific cover letter? do you follow up each application?
Contact each company you have been 'rejected' by and ask for reasons - the more specific the better - make a note of these and change your approach accordingly.
Maybe you are just going for inappropriate roles??
good luck
Mike
