CV/ Resume

 Recently, I was contacted by an applicant for a CV review, she just had her CV revamped but have not been getting invites. 

I went through the CV and it looked great at first glance but at a second, I saw a misconception.

Her professional summary says she is a "Seasoned Professional" in the field with track record doing some professional duties for an experience she does not have. 

When you say someone is a "seasoned professional" it means the person is an expert and has years of experience in that profession.

Dear CV Specialist,

In the bid to make a client appear as the best candidate for a role, please do not over-qualify them for a role they do not fit! Resumes don't get the job done, people do! 

A graduate with less than one year of experience in a profession is still learning, the resume should show career goals, diligence, teachability, learnability, skill-set, achievements, and knowledge acquired from internship/volunteer experiences. Make their Resume' show they are suited for entry-level roles and assisting roles so they can LEARN!.

Do not make an amateur, expert! in the bid to make a STAND OUT CV! Let's be skillful yet truthful in our resume writing. Magnify the Truth but do not tell a LIE!!!
