<\/p>\nWe all know that job searching can be a tough process, especially for those new to the professional arena. Luckily, there\u2019s enough insider information out there to give job seekers a heads up on how to best approach their search. The infographic to the right is filled with statistics about how much time hiring professionals view your CV and what mistakes will quickly get you the boot.<\/p>\n

Though I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard all about how little time recruiters spend on each resume, and how important it is to have it proofread, these numbers really put it into perspective. Don\u2019t simply read your resume over yourself, have someone (preferably someone who cares about you) scan it for mistakes as well. Little mistakes make you seem careless and unprofessional, and are easily missed if you\u2019ve read over your resume multiple times. With 250 other resumes to go through, recruiters won\u2019t have a second thought about tossing yours out, so go the extra mile to ensure that it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n
Now that it\u2019s been drilled into your head that there are countless other applicants vying for the same position as you are, and that recruiters are trying to find a reason to get rid of your resume, it\u2019s time to differentiate yourself. Create a video resume<\/a>. Doing so will instantly grant you more of the recruiter\u2019s time, highlight your soft skills<\/a>, and make you more memorable. What more could you possibly want? Give yourself more depth, show off who you are, and stand out from that seemingly endless stack of resumes.<\/p>\n We all know that job searching can be a tough process, especially for those new to the professional arena.
