Why your resume need to be evolved everyday?

Resume or CV is one such document which records your professional history in a few pages, and how can you write your professional snapshot in those few pages.

For some, it will be more than enough or for some, it will be too less as well.

Well, it depends, as to what you want to write. Most of the times during interviews we ourselves don't get to understand what got missed in the CV or to communicate or even mis-communicating reference points to which we speak on.

It's a regular practice that people edit CVs when they get stuck or need a change badly or when they happen to see or overcome an exciting job description.

This is the most common wrong activity that we should work on.

As our CV communicates our professional snapshot, we need to update it regularly.

We evolve as persons, in professions, in situations, gain acknowledgments, achieve heights of success, gain new skills, learn from peers, shift or add new objectives, take part in new extracurricular activities, then why the CVs or resumes should evolve.

As said in the above statements, those accomplishments get vanished or we don't get to remember them when required at the right time which leads to poor sentence formation, no proper usage of words, miss the objective of why it is being written, or may not even structure it correctly.

Since the interviewer holds a higher experience in the process its easier of them to understand what kind of mistakes the interviewee is capable of doing and they wait and watch to reject in such cases not everyone get to sit even face-to-face.


What you should start doing


  • Startup with writing down your whole journey in terms of activities in terms of projects. Summarize into unique points with regards to the job you're applying for. 
  • Always put the present organization first, then the previous organization and then so on and lastly education. I case of experienced professionals this method works the best but for freshers education on top would be helpful as writing up the present situation would help the other person know what are you up to. 
  • Structure your CV and make it like a story format where the reader can relate to every point mentioned. 
  • The design of the CV is most important because it's obviously written in MS Word but if it's not up to mark this can show you as low on MS Office skills. 
  • Be clarified with yourself and convinced as by reading your own CV and what questions could come up with regards to the interview and interviewers. 
  • Making the relevant changes to CV before applying for any jobs is a msut-do practice. Example it may happen that the CV which you prepared would be on the likes of the dream company or job role you would wish for but you apply for different job role which would be a total mismatch. 
  • Be confident of what you have written in CV. Suggested measure is to delve into it only if you worked practically and accomplished something on it. 
  • Go through some profiles of your reporting managers or your peers to see how well they have portrayed their information to make a point. 
  • Focus on either one of these, whether on the fact of accomplishments in the job role or the basis of the activities you had performed regularly. 
  • Align your goals and mindset and show the increased level of interest by portraying examples, facts etc
  • Never be confused or in a dilemma that will act as a negative point in the interview. 

These points have been on consultation with the industry experts who would see people improving in all these aspects.
