\"\"<\/a>
Everyone wants a resume that will stand out from the crowd.

Want to ensure that your application doesn\u2019t get thrown into the recycling bin before you\u2019re even considered for the job?
The Placements team at Imarticus Learning chalks out 5 Don\u2019ts for an effective resume.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Get Experimental<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Using elaborate fonts and colors to make your CV stand out can be a bit of an eyesore. The more gimmicky you make your CV using different shapes and pictures, the more off-putting it will be to an employer. In terms of the fonts, you should ideally stick to\u00a0Soft, gentle and modern, this is the default font of many email programs, so it’s familiar to the eye\u00a0 Times New Roman or Arial \u2013 remember, the goal is to make it easy to read. Also, do not include any graphics such designs or photographs in your resume.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Ramble<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keep information relevant and to the point. A resume should be as brief as possible and include no extraneous information. An employer really doesn\u2019t need or want to know all the one-day training courses or participation certificates you have received in life.<\/p>\n

Do not Exaggerate<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The bigger the lies you put on your CV the worse it will be for your career. After all, your employer is bound to notice if you aren\u2019t performing as well as your CV promised. Also, you aren\u2019t the only one telling tall tales. Most employers these days have seen it all when it comes to embellishments and are thus not fooled. Our advice is to always keep it as honest as possible. After all, if you manage to get a job based on exaggerations you could be let go of pretty quickly. That wouldn\u2019t look good on your CV either, would it?<\/p>\n

Stay away from Cliches<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Phrases such as \u201cI am a highly motivated individual who works well on my own or in a team\u201d \u201cI love challenges\u201d and \u201cI live for deadlines\u201d are dull. Employers have to read them several times a day because they are so common. Make yourself stand out with carefully worded phrasing that is factual and captures your professionalism as well as the employer\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Check for Grammatical Errors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is the most crucial point, one that will make or break your CV. Language and grammatical errors reflect directly on your persona so be careful of the spellings and language. Use words you know, stay away from using big fancy words just for the sake of it and at all times avoid jargons and abbreviations.
