Every time a recruitment happens, I see people running around in college worrying about resume format, resume contents etc etc. Most of them think that the resumes will help in finding the niche in one’s profession.
Think of resume only as a tool to excuse the HR officer to reject you. Surely no HR is going to give you job only seeing your resume. Most of the resumes in front of him will have no real cover letters, no odd look, all same ambitions and experience. For the first impression you need a resume which stands out from rest but also you need lot other things for a lasting impression.
when it comes to an interview, what matters is not your resumes but you yourself as a person. At this point what many of us lack is even a mere attempt of self marketing. Just imagine like you have the full authority to fix price for your abilities that HR is looking for. That doesn’t mean you literally dispute on the salary, but that thinking line will give you immense power so as to make the HR feel like if you are not in then it will be a loss.
Make a good rehearsal for your interview because more you do, more is your chance of shooting right answers and that too with confidence. And remember, Great jobs.. jobs people die for.. are not offered speculating the resumes emailed to them. Ever. So why bother?
