You know you’re perfect for that job you’re eyeing, but does the employer or the hiring committee know that? Will they be able to see it in the sea of job applicants vying for the role? Turn the odds in your favour with these tips!

1 YOUR CV MATTERS 

“Today’s job market is more dynamic and competitive than ever, making it crucial for candidates to make a strong first impression,” says Delhi-based Dr Ravinder Goyal, co-founder of Erekrut HR Automation Solutions. “To begin with, focus on creating an impactful CV. Your CV should not be lengthy; instead, it should be a summary of your work experience, highlighting key achievements and notable clients. In simple terms, it should tell the story of your career journey through quantifiable accomplishments.”

Ahmedabad-based Nital Shah, COO of hiring platform Uplers, agrees, “Amid thousands of CVs for a single opening, having a well-crafted, pre-vetted profile that goes beyond the traditional resume and highlights your skills, assessments, and test scores for a set of specific skills can significantly boost your chances of getting shortlisted.”
