How to find positions that you can apply for from your resume and improve the efficiency of job hunting?

Some successes are not directly proportional to the level of effort, such as submitting a resume. Many people believe that as long as they become a perfect candidate, they can get more interview invitations and offers through screening. In fact, this is why people make this kind of formal logic error because they don’t understand HR’s thinking mode when reviewing resumes. There is no technical difficulty in filling your resume with adjectives. However, writing a specific and beautiful resume can be challenging because there are some differences between the lines. You only face your resume without realizing the problem.

Hiring managers are different. They screen hundreds of resumes every day, and through high-frequency training, form an overall scanning mode of the resume's key points and details, making it easy to find loopholes in details. Second, the hiring manager’s goal is not to hire a perfect person. Many times, they will reject candidates who appear to be perfect and hire candidates with better key qualities. If you think your resume is great, it might just be a cognitive bias on your part. After all, everyone thinks they are excellent. If you could see the overall level of resumes received by HR, you might not think so.

As we all know, once we determine that we are looking for a job, we start preparing a resume. After the resume is written, we will directly post it on the recruitment website and wait for the interview. However, many times, we find that we have been waiting for a long time and cannot wait for the interview call, and then we become discouraged. In the end, we lost the enthusiasm to submit resumes. What went wrong? Is our resume too uncompetitive to get into the eyes of HR? Of course it is possible, but there is a greater possibility that the way we submit resumes is wrong.

When most companies want to recruit people, they will not post them on the recruitment website immediately. They will try internal promotion first. If there is no suitable fit, they will consider acquaintances outside the company. If not, they will consider asking an acquaintance for a recommendation. If not, they will post job postings on their website. Whether you want to find a job or not, as a professional, you must have a resume readily available and update it regularly on social media, recruitment websites, headhunters, etc. If you decide to look for a job and update or refresh your resume a little more often, people will reach out to you.
