Top 8 Reasons Why Your Resume Gets Rejected

• The worst feeling for anybody searching for a job
  is when they fail to get success in their
  expedition. Sometimes people apply for jobs
  (hundreds in some cases), but fail to get any
  response from the companies. Lucky ones sometimes
  get a get a letter of rejection or an email, but
  the majority will simply get no response from the
  recruiter.
• Even though it seemed like everything went really
  well in the interview, still people fail to get a
  call from the employer. Some people even fail to
  get an interview call for the job theyve
  applied. So, what mistake did you make in your
  job application because of which you failed to
  secure the interview call?

• Here are the top 8 reasons why you were not
  selected for an interview.
• Did You Have The Qualifications Required For The
  Job? How close your qualifications match the
  requirements posted by the recruiter for the job?
  In todays highly competitive world, usually
  candidates applying match or even exceed the job
  requirements. So, they easily secure interviews.
• Did you submit a complete application? Ensure
  that all the information required on the job
  application should be provided by you.

• Was your application mistake free? Did you write
  proper correct employment dates? Did you fill
  the right salary amount? Have you ensured that
  you filled all the necessary information asked by
  the employer? Before scheduling interviews, some
  employers verify employment history of the
  candidates, which makes submitting the right
  accurate dates highly essential.
• Did you work hardly to prepare your resume?
  Ensure that you resume showcase skills and
  accomplishments which are related to the job
  youre targeting. Explain clearly that how you
  added value in your previous internships, jobs,
  or any other work?

• Have you made your resume in a well organised
  way, so that the most relevant points can be
  easily located by the HR solutions department of
  your employers company?
• Did you write an accurate cover letter which
  focused primarily on the requirements of the job
  you have applied for? Ensure you make it very
  clear in the cover letter that you have the
  required skills, experience and knowledge which
  will help you to perform well on the job, if
  selected.

6

• Did you submit a cover letter which was long
  enough to make a compelling case for you to
  secure interview and later the job? Did you made
  sure that the cover letter was not so dense that
  the recruiter wouldnt even read it? Keep your
  letters 3 to 5 paragraphs long, with each
  paragraph not more than 8 lines.
• Did you make sure that each application document
  which you sent to the employers was error free
  and well written? Ask others (friends family
  members) to review and proofread your resume and
  cover letter.
