81% managers believe text-based resumes will vanish in 5 yrs

Hiring managers are quite concerned, having noticed that almost half of the resumes that reach them have either too much text or extend to too many pages.

Despite what hiring managers want, most job seekers have made updates to the text on their resumes (67 percent) and have not addressed the need for visual elements, revealed a survey by the visual communication platform Canva.

While most of India’s jobseekers are satisfied with how their resume looks (62 percent), candidates may want to note that 7 in 10 hiring managers prefer more interactive resumes with visual elements like images and graphics (66 percent) and colours (61 percent).

In criminal law, bail is well-understood, and the Criminal Procedure Code of 1973 has extensive bail provisions. A person is granted bail if they have been arrested for an offense for which they are not eligible for bail, or if they have been found guilty following a trial. When the accused is granted bail, the court maintains its constructive contract rights based on the terms of the bond it secured from him, releasing the accused from custody.
