Is Rejection the only way to Land a new job ? Get your resume discovered. iRekommend Dec 21, 2021·3 min read

Remember when you had to wake up and check your mail just so that rejection letters could be waiting in the inbox?

Getting a job is all about rejection. You don’t apply to one hoping that you’ll be hired by the first company, no matter how many times they send an email or call asking for application materials. It is a process and it involves constant applications along with constant rejections ( unless you get hired the first time — which is no less than a miracle in today’s world ).

No one starts off guaranteed to be successful. We can only try our best and hope that it turns out well for us in the end. But then again — what does “try our best” actually mean, when it comes to job search?

There is a saying — it takes a very little extra to go from ordinary to extraordinary. And this little extra is what we want to work on. For a job hunter, this extra is nothing but a RESUME — the only thing that acts as a link between you and the recruiter.

Yes! The only way you can increase your chances of getting hired in the modern world, is by having an amazing resume which talks about how you went to space and came back! LOL. No, we are not sure even that will get you a job.

So what is it that you need to mention on your resume, which is going to make you stand out from all hundreds or millions or resumes that are competing with yours?

Why is a resume such an important part of the hiring process? It’s because when you apply for jobs, all that gets sent out by your recruiter to try and understand who YOU are as a person. Many people often fail to realize this.

Here are some short tips to make your resume stand out:

Look for keywords on the job posting. ( don’t know what keywords are ? or how to use them tactfully in your resume ? Don’t worry! We have got your covered. We talk in detail about it in the video. You can find the link in the end.) Review other resumes from similar industries. Use active language and only focus on showcasing the most relevant information ATS Friendly resume ( ATS stands for applicant tracking system. This is the AI which reads through your resume and helps the recruiter find you. )

Want to find out more about applicant tracking systems, how it works and ways in which you can design your resume to make sure that the ATS shows your resume to the recruiters? We have talked about all of this in detail in our video.

But before you go into the details of making your resume unique and stand out with personalized fonts and smiling pictures of yourself, there are some strict Do’s and Don’ts that you need to keep in mind.

To give you a out line:

Do’s: Use a standard template — nothing too fancy which the Computer may not be able to read. ( Yes. Artificial intelligence reads through your resume?)

Don’ts: Avoid using fancy templates — anything with pictures, weird fonts and icons.

But these are just barely scratching the surface. In the next post, we will be showing you how you can automate this entire cumbersome process.
