Watch the words in your resume

Your resume is the reflection of your academic and professional career. You have to ensure that the resume and the cover letter are written in a very professional manner so that it draws attention of anyone who happens to get a glance of the same.

You will have to draft the resume by targeting the specific job profile and by doing so, the recruiters would understand that they are looking at the right candidature and would give you an interview call.

Make yourself searchable

When it comes to do an effective job search, it is wise that you leave no stone unturned and get yourself registered in as many job portals as possible. It is very important as many a times recruiting staff from companies also search for candidates through the various job portals, hence, if you are registered on all the popular (and even the not so popular ones) portals, your chances of being seen by a recruiter would be higher.

While it would still be your endeavor to perform well in the interview, but when it comes to get that very important interview call from the company of your dreams, personal contacts can prove to be handy.
