Unless you are in the career industry, telling which resumes are good, bad and ugly will be very difficult and not advisable. Whoever these ‘experts’ are shall remain one of mankind’s great mysteries I can only establish that most of the templates are very poor. Who created all the templates on the Internet in the first place? Nobody knows, but the templates are highly recommended and are supposedly written by an expert. I might be cynical here but can you afford to risk that? A lot of the templates out there are sub standard: What type of signal do you think these copy and paste skills send to the hiring manager? I would think that this applicant, if hired, would always look for quick and dirty ways of solving problems. Basically, it’s the lazy way of doing it. The two benefits of using a resume is that it requires little time and effort to write your document. Still not convinced? Here are a few reasons not to use a resume template: Same as everyone else:Įmployers have developed a trained eye for spotting resume templates. The goal of your resume is to stand out from all the other job seekers and be picked for an interview if you are using the same template as all the other hopefuls you will achieve neither objective. HR people, recruiters, hiring managers see hundreds of resumes every day and nothing bores them more than another template resume. Your resume probably gets about 5-10 seconds before the person screening it decides to read on or to chuck in the bin.
Every wonder why you don’t get called up for an interview? It could be that you are using a resume or CV based on a template.
