Understand Resume Review Process
posted:3 years agobyMarry JoJoin CVs
The purpose of sending an application is to get hired by an employer. Before you send an application, it's important to understand the review of every application. Once you know how an employer will check your profile, it becomes pretty simple for you to send an application as per employer requirement. As we all know, employers get so many applications for one job. They normally have 10 seconds to review it all. In case your application isn't good and a quick review isn't well-furnished, you won't be able to get a job offer. Here is how an employer performs a resume review.
Personal Objective Statement
It is the first thing in the resume section that will be reviewed by the employer. He will look into this statement to get an idea what you can do. Within a few lines, you will sell your skills. As you have limited space, you can't create a big objective statement.

If these lines don't feel persuasive, the employer won't continue to the next section of your Israel CV. Thereby, you should craft this section very carefully. Clearly state your objective for professional life. Also, don't generalize it at all. Make sure that this statement is eye-catching and make the employer review the rest of your resume sections.
Job Titles
Next section an employer takes good interest in is your job title. He will check it all and try to get an idea what experience you hold. For example, if you apply for a marketing job in Israel, then an employer would like to know all about your past job titles. They should be related to the marketing field. Your resume must reflect your adequate job experience in the marketing field. You might be working as a marketing assistant, or your previous job was to handle marketing campaigns, either way you will have to demonstrate your field experience in the best manner.
Time Period
Are you a job hopper? If yes, then the employer doesn't like to hire a person who doesn't stay on a job for a long time. Switching from one job to another in less than a year is a red flag. Recruiters don't let a company hire you because it's too expensive to hire an employee, train him and then let him go within a year. Even when you have a genuine reason for doing so, it won't be acceptable in the employment world. A job hopper is never trustworthy. If you keep working on a job for a long time, it's a good sign. Employer will trust you and consider you for an Israeli job.
Employment Gap
Employment gap isn't a red flag but certainly it will make your employer wink. It's better to explain this gap rightway in your cover letter. Tell them why you left a job and what your plan in the future. Why did you have to take a work break? Employment gap is acceptable only when you have good reasons. Unfortunately, some employers don't prefer this gap because it makes them think that you don't have the latest knowledge and update of your work life- which is a negative aspect of candidacy. A reasonable employer won't see it in a negative light unless you explain it.
Work Experience
Your work experience matters for a job. During the resume review process, employers will surely check how many years of experience you have. Make sure your experience will match the job description, if it doesn't then you won't be able to get a job. Freshers should apply for a job where experience isn't required or minimal experience may work.

Skills
What skills you possess and what interests you have will also be under review? For working on an IT job, you must have technical skills. When you are unsure about skills needed to perform a job, you can search online. Within a matter of seconds, you will get a clear idea about the list of skills you can add in your resume.
License and Certification
If a certain job needs certification and license, it will be important for you to mention them separately. Employers will be interested in your certifications. Every job has specific educational requirements, it's vital to meet them. They are basic elements to handle.
Formatting
Once all these sections are reviewed, you need to work on formatting and styling. Make sure that your resume is properly formatted. It has all the required sections. It doesn't feel like clutter but it should have a clear outlook. You need to check it on grammarly and remove grammatical errors
Wrap up
Finally you know all about the resume review process. Next time you craft a resume, you need to be careful about every little section. Pay attention to job title and work experience. Make sure you create the best objective statement. Skills, education, and experience should be relevant.
