Farah Sharghi, a former technical recruiter turned job search coach, has observed a recurring issue among her clients that could be hindering their job search success. Despite their strong qualifications, many applicants fail to present their résumés effectively, leading to missed opportunities. One prevalent mistake is the lack of tailored content; candidates often submit generic résumés that do not align with the specific requirements of the job they are applying for.
Sharghi emphasizes the importance of customizing each résumé to highlight relevant skills and experiences that match the job description. She advises job seekers to focus on quantifiable achievements rather than just listing responsibilities. This approach not only showcases a candidate's capabilities but also demonstrates their understanding of the role and the value they can bring to the organization.
By avoiding these common pitfalls and investing time in creating a targeted résumé, job seekers can significantly improve their chances of getting noticed by potential employers.
