Here are some tips which can help your CV to land on the employer’s desk. The common mistakes which is done by almost every student is that:

•    Try to create a CV which is NOT more than one page.
•    Never ever float the same CV to different organizations. By the end of their last semester, most of the students had developed their CV or a Resume and mistakenly they float the same CV to FMCG as well as the Telecommunication sector.
•    Employers now use keywords and tag words to securitize all the CV. So first thing first, customize your CV according to the company and the sector which you want to get in.
•    The objective section in your CV should not be regarding that you are superman and you can work 24 hours a day. This is a primary part because it creates a good image once your CV is filtered. Focus on thing which are realistic, what is your strength, what roles you have done previously, your experience and talk about your skill set.
•    Majority of your good employers are using LinkedIn. Focus on improving your LinkedIn profile and start connecting people. Don’t use LinkedIn as your dating profile, start connecting right people and direct message them about an opening in their department. Put as many pictorial qualification as you can. Put your updated CV on LinkedIn so that employer can easily reach out to you. Don’t ever put your Wedding or Rishta picture as your profile picture.
•    Don’t focus on using Rozee.pk or Mustakbil.com as your primary source. It’s better to invest in yourself by getting premium services of LinkedIn.
•    Don’t ever lie on your CV or on your LinkedIn profile. If your employer caught you, which he will, he will blacklist you from his company.
•    Be precise and confident, don’t worry if you haven’t done anything. If your CV is blank, focus on getting the internships leading to jobs.
