As a jobseeker, the most annoying part of applying for jobs is the increasingly unnecessary steps in the application process. I don’t mean the selection process but the application itself. Recruiters ask for: 📌 Your CV 📌 Your LinkedIn url 📌 Your professional history typed in manually (after uploading your CV) 📌 Your cover letter outlining your motivations, and professional accomplishments 📌 Your first offspring 📌 Your grandmother’s DNA result 📌 Oh! And a video of you exposing your soul I think companies think it’s cool if the application has all these Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious requirements. Wanna see a really super cool job application? Check this site: https://lnkd.in/dxz3qXdf Where do you draw the line with the hoops you have to jump through to apply for a job… which you may not even get? What’s your least favorite job application requirement? Video applications? Cover letters? #JobSeekers #JobApplicationTips #Recruitment #TalentAcquisition

8 things to Remove from your CV Immediately ❌ Unprofessional Email: Create an email address that is reserved exclusively for your jobs in all activities. ❌Irrelevant Work Experience: If a past job doesn't directly relate to the position you're applying for, consider omitting it from your CV. ❌Personal Information: Keep your CV focused on professional qualifications and experiences. Omit marital status, age, or hobbies to maintain a concise and relevant document. ❌Resume objective statement: This vague statement is a waste of space on your resume because it doesn’t help hiring managers. ❌Outdated Skills: Remove skills that are no longer relevant or in demand in your industry. Make space for newer skills and technologies. ❌Long Paragraphs and Excessive Text: Lengthy descriptions or paragraphs. Use concise bullet points to convey information. ❌Unexplained Gaps: Briefly explain any extended periods of unemployment or career breaks for transparency. ❌ Generic Buzzwords: Focus on specific examples and achievements that demonstrate your capabilities and strengths. Irrelevant stuff you include to make your CV long might in most cases work against you.

Ever wondered why, even with all of your experience, you may be overlooked for your next role? Jesse has a fresh take here on what may be happening here. He suggests crafting a compelling document tailored to the roles you're pursuing, emphasizing relevant experience and keeping it concise. Check out these actionable tips to ensure your resume stands out in the competitive job market. #ResumeTips #JobSearch 📝✨
Don't overcook your resume! Writing down your career history and making it look attractive to potential employers are two different things. Depending on the roles you're applying for, skew the resume towards the elements of your experience most relevant to the job you're trying to land. Avoid writing down every single element of your past roles, focus on the most relevant parts of your recent experience that help connect the dots for potential employers. Avoid lengthy bios written in the third person. Do write a short bio about your experience and what role you want to move into. Writing a short paragraph describing the function of each of your roles can help employers easily understand if your experience aligns. Add 5-7 bullet points under each role, and keep it succinct. Depending on the length of your career, expand on the last 5-7 years and simply list the rest. Add some colour to make it stand out. List any relevant education and certificates on the first page at the top. A catchy cover letter, describing why you're interested in the role/company and how your experience is relevant can help too. Unfortunately, when job hunting there are no silver bullets. Making sure your resume is up to scratch is one element you can control that can make all the difference. Feel free to reach out if you need a hand with your resume, always happy to help.

HR & Tech Recruiter | Talent Acquisition Expert | Business Development | Upwork Bidder | Connecting Talent and Opportunities
As both a job seeker and recruiter, I've reviewed thousands of resumes, LinkedIn profiles and cover letters over the years. One thing is clear - how you present yourself on paper is just as important as what experience you bring. Here are some tips I've picked up on what makes applications stand out from my perspective: Resume: - Customize for each role by highlighting the 2-3 most relevant skills and achievements at the top - Quantify your impact using numbers, percentages or dollars whenever possible - Keep it to one page unless you have 5+ years of experience in senior roles and have projects to show Profile: - Optimize your headline with the job titles you want seen and add 3-5 relevant keywords - Customize your URL for better brand recall (e.g. linkedin.com/in/yourname) - Fill out all sections comprehensively but keep it concise Cover Letter: - Address it to the hiring manager by name if possible (don't just say 'To whom it may concern') - Highlight why you're particularly interested in this specific role and company - Quantify results and reiterate skills in the context of the job description Taking the time to optimize these application materials will significantly raise your chances of standing out from the competition. Let me know if you have any other questions! #resumetips #careeradvice #jobsearch #linkedin #recruiting #hiring #hr #resumewriting #developers
