Often people say that when you apply for a job, CV does not matter, but in reality CV matters. When a recruitment process goes on, an employer does not call you physically to apply for the post. Rather you are asked to submit a CV to apply for the position. When you apply, the employer goes through your CV, but not you. Here actually your CV represents you, explains you. The format, color, text, page orientation, decoration of the information and every single actually explains what, how and what you are.
when your CV represents
Now, when your CV represents you, if there has any lacking, it means there is a lacking in yourself as well. In this stage, of course an employer will not recruit a person with lacking. Yes, you may not have any fault and toy are perfect for the position, but a proverb works here in the background, “First impression is the last impression”. It is very true. When an employer goes through your CV, s/he forms an impression about you, may be s/he is wrong, but he doesn’t know about you personally. He knows all about you what you have included in your CV, he knows about the person you portrayed in your CV. Of course the employer will not call you physically to get to know about you. If s/he does not get a positive vive going through your CV, you are no longer perfect for the position.
