Why an Outstanding Resume is Not Enough to Get an Interview: Reason 1
Why an Outstanding Resume is Not Enough to Get an Interview: Reason 1
No matter how “good” your resume is, if you don’t match the requirements of the jobs for which you are applying, you won’t get an interview. If employers or recruitment consultants are looking for certain attributes, skills, expertise and types of experience which you don’t have to the required level, it does not matter how good your resume is. A resume is a tool that enables an employer to link your experience and skills to the requirements of the job. There is no point complaining that you can do the job and that your skills and expertise are transferable: if you don’t have what they are seeking, the result is obvious. You might have experience in an industry different to the employer’s which you think you can transfer to the employer’s industry. While this might be true, if there are already 20 good quality applicants who do have experience in the employer’s industry and you don’t, and it was your money you were investing in the person’s salary, who would you select?
