Dear Abhik,
Some basic tips to get your resume seen and noticed.
The average time spent by recruiters looking at a resume: 5 to 7 seconds.
76% of resumes are discarded for an unprofessional email address.
88% rejection rate when you include a photo on your resume.
In 2000, 22% of resumes were submitted via email or posted on the web. In 2015, over 93% of resumes are now posted online or sent via email.
Applicant Tracking Software, the robots that read your resume, are able to quickly eliminate 75% of the applicants.
Resume with Colored Fonts or tables embedded have high chances of rejection.
Suppose you were reviewing resumes would you :-
Respond to a candidate who writes "PFA" , "FYI", "Please check", "Reply ASAP", and attach his / her resume.
Would you consider a candidate who has forwarded the application he sent to other companies, and of course the name date and address are in trail mails .
Or a candidate who has sent you a resume which was updated in 2014 and has applied in 2016.
More funny things that candidate do to get rejected :-
Resume file named Biodata(1)(2)(3).doc or Copy of Resume.doc
Attach a crop image from some fancy function
Find addresses of all companies in cc where candidate has applied
Pasting a url which contains his / her application
Blank mail with attachment of resume
Blank subject line
starting mail with "Hi"
