When it comes to your resume, the devil is quite often in the details. Recruiters get annoyed by small things that you may not think of—like whether or not the text on your cover letter and resume is the same font and size (it should be), if your margins are off (makes it tricky for us to print), or to whom you’ve addressed the cover letter (it should be the recruiter’s name, not “sir,” “madam,” or “to whom it may concern”).
They’ll also take note
if you don’t include everything the job posting asks you to send. A
cover letter and resume? What about work or writing samples? Be sure
to include everything that’s asked of you. Also, does the job
posting refer to the position as Project Manager II? If so, state
that in your cover letter, exactly—don’t write Proj. Mgr. or
Project Manager. Companies put a lot of time into determining job
titles, and when a recruiter is looking to fill both the Project
Manager and the Project Manager II positions, any ambiguity from you would make it harder for them.
If there is even one
spelling mistake you may be out. Proofreading your own resume is a
must, but don’t rely on spell check and grammar check alone—ask
family or friends to take a look at it for you. You must always have
several eyes look at your resume.
Applying for a job can
often feel like a huge challenge, and knowing that there are so many
applicants out there can be daunting. But if you follow these simple
rules, you’ll make sure your resume get past the first hurdle: the
trash can. Better yet, if you tailor your resume and make sure it’s
a fit to the company and job, you’ll definitely increase your
chances of getting to the top of the pile.
