Through online applications

  maximum job applications.
• Quality of the resume should be the foremost
  priority, rather than quantity.

  weight in it stand out in the clutter of their
  less impressive counterpart. Job seekers in

Job experience and qualifications are important
Fine balance needs to be maintained between
sending an application for a job for which one do
not meet the main qualifications and limiting
oneself strictly to jobs for which one meet every
single one. Never forget that an applicant's
personality may be the single most important
factor in hiring decisions, so make use of
connections not merely as advocates but as
individuals who can land you the interview at
which you can impress the HR.

Tell your story in the cover letter
Several sources assert that around 60 to 80 of
cover letters are not read by the employers. It
is true for low-level jobs for which there will
be dozens or hundreds of applications, and at
large organizations that use algorithms to screen
résumés looking for key words, and which do not
scan cover letters. One should always submit a
cover letter if the option is available, but make
sure that it is focused not on your story but on
the story of what you can do for the organization.

Single Page Resumes
One should make every effort to limit their
résumé/CV to a single page. Résumés should
include all the qualifications and facts about
your work history of previous employers that are
relevant to what the HR is seeking.
Job seekers who have fewer than ten years of
experience it is impossible that one would need
more than a single page to define the work youve
done that would be relevant. However if you
have relevant information to convey to the
potential employer, do not be afraid to go beyond
page one.
6
Application Rejection
Employers do not take the trouble of responding
to job applicants when applicants are rejected.
There maybe hundreds of applicants, and that
why employer has little incentive to respond to
every single one of them including you. This is
hopeless, but a fact of modern organizational
life. Try to take it in stride. You can take
the help of a career Counselor to get hired, Jim
Weinstein is one of them Career Development
