Break Conventional Resume Writing

According to Milkround.com
Milkround.co.uk
on application forms for jobs:

Did you know that a number of the graduate recruiters we recently questioned were keen to highlight that they could not respond to all applications because they did not receive sufficient contact details?

The majority of employers (54%) aim to respond to every application, whether it is an application form or a speculative enquiry accompanied by a CV. Admittedly, 5% of these merely forward a formulaic acknowledgement of application received, but the remainder claim that they informed all candidates as to how they fared in the selection process.

For most of the 54%, contacting candidates was seen as a common courtesy, regardless of the standard of the application. Many employers took the time to share with us why they felt this was so important most realised it was in their own interest:

We certainly don�t want to be perceived negatively as a result of ignoring people word travels far too quickly and you never know where some of the applicants might end up!

Conceivably, if hundreds, or even thousands, of applications are coming in, employers can convert recruitment into an effective marketing tool, merely by adhering to good application practice.

Yet, despite honourable intentions, many companies are still unable to reply due to negligence on the part of the applicant when completing contact details. With demanding aptitude and competency questions to answer, perhaps the more prosaic personal details section tends to be treated too lightly. Remember, in order to create the right impression, care should be taken over every part of the application form; not just the "important" sections.

A further 22% of graduate recruiters claimed that it was logistically impossible to reply to every single application, a belief with which many others (including all our users) disagreed.

No organisation should be too big or too busy to respond to any specific/speculative CV's or enquiry made.

Assuming that an employer does wish to reply to you, here is some advice that could just make the difference between a positive and negative response.

1. Always read the application through at least twice before you begin. This should ensure you don�t miss out any sections (such as contact details) and avoid repeating yourself in subsequent questions.

2. Research the company you are applying to thoroughly before you begin. Remember recruiters are looking for certain key competencies - these will become clear if you do your homework!

3. Think carefully about each question and ask yourself the following before you answer: What are they asking me? Why? What personal qualities are they looking for by asking this question?

4. Proof-read your application when complete and run a spelling and grammar check if applicable. Always let a friend read it through a fresh pair of eyes can often spot a detail you may have omitted. Most good online application systems include a �save and return� function which will allow you to do this.

5. Keep a copy of your application form answers, you will need to refer to them if you are invited to an interview.
