HOW TO BUILD A CORPORATE RESUME: Many of the candidates, might have observed that even
after submission of c.v. ,for various relevant
positions he / she is not called for interview. In present competitive scenario it is more so important
to be professional in preparing c.v.
Observe following C.V. tips for your guidance.
For certain categories, there are many applicants and it
is hectic task for the HR department or the manpower
consultant to shortlist candidates for interview .
Reputed manpower consultants get at least 200 to 300 CVs
daily. Often, it is seen that suitable candidates are
not called or missed out ,this is specifically because
candidate submits c.v., which is not presented
properly. Hence it is more so important to design the
c.v. in right fashion.
Persons
applying for specific job should study the job
requirement carefully and if having more or less similar
experience in the field as mentioned in the
advertisement , should highlight the specific experience
in c.v. This helps the consultant or HR person to short
list the candidate for interview . Resume/c.v. reflects person's neatness / methodic way or
otherwise . Professional manpower consultants can read
through the c.v. and can judge a person to certain
extent.
There are in general two methods to set out c.v. , one
is starting with personnel details and second with
ending personnel details. While forming the c.v. one
should keep some aspects in mind and in general are as
follows.....
All
pages including c.v. and enclosures should be of one
size preferably A 4 Neatly typewritten.
Staple properly at left corner.
Staple your recent photograph on right hand side of your
c.v.

which needs to be advertised. You must have observed

period of time . Some of the candidates get confused as
to which position he should apply and in the process

ultimately finds that he is not getting responses from
any of the company / recruiting consultants.
Select

your-self how best you are suitable for the position ,
set out your c.v. as described above and apply. Covering
letter also carries equal importance .So draft properly
giving / highlighting your suitability for the position
