13. Resume not getting shortlisted – frequent reasons
• “Absence of fitment (IT/ Non IT, work experience range etc.)”
• “Resume is all over the place”
(hence missing out on highlighting what is required in JD)
• “Resume is very generic and hence is not able to stand out from its competitors”
• “Resume was difficult to read”
(hence could not get what they were looking for or anything of interest)
• “The resume was very technical”
(meaning the resume could not show the transferable skill which candidate might
have)
• “Some of the claims were unbelievable”
