Had you ever irked by the HR’s (Human Resource) demand of asking you to send your resume in just three pages when you have so much to tell about yourself? You already have abundant experience which when put in words will occupy at least 10 pages. But the three page demand by the concerned company’s HR requirement is pushing you to the wall and you do not know what to do. How can you convey your vast experience, skills, etc, through your resume while sticking to the HR’s requirement, i.e., that three-page resume limit? Read on…
You are having good experience in your field. And the resume is your passport to apply for the new job in that dream company of yours. However, there are restrictions. As per the job notification norms, you need to explain the whole stuff of yours in just three simple pages. Is that possible? Yes, it is, if you opt for a dynamic resume mode!
Most of the times, people all around the world, do not give much consideration when it comes to their resume. Actually, resume helps you to market your experience, skills, domain knowledge, etc. It just acts like a brochure of any new product, which helps one to know what that particular product can do. By going through your resume, the other person will come to know a lot about your skills, hobbies, your personality, etc. People, when they apply for their dream job, list and scribbles out all what they had done and what they can do on innumerable pages. It will be quite difficult for others (particularly HR staff) to go through this bunch of pages, while they need to go through a lot other resumes of this kind.
Static resume consists of loads and tons of text, tables, colors, etc. Though the tables, colors, etc, try to put your stuff in an easy readable format, but when a person (HR) has to go through this kind of stuff laden with the same kind of formats on innumerable pages, there are chances that s/he may miss those important points which you had conveyed by drafting so carefully. Many times, the concerned HR just glance through those bunch of pages and could not get anything relevant to the job-in-hand in those few seconds and chances are that s/he may label your resume as “unfit”.
When any successful company advertises a high-profile job, you can blindly expect that the response will be high. The burden on the HR department to go through all resumes and sorting them as per the job requirement will definitely tax their physical energy. At this moment, there are chances that they may miss those important points of your resume and send you a sorry letter. To avoid this unfortunate situation, the HR department, on their part, requests you to send your resume in not more than three pages so that they may not miss that important point of yours relevant for the job-in-hand.
The only answer which can satisfy everybody’s requirements lies in opting for Dynamic Resume. A dynamic resume is an extension of static resume but capable of conveying those important points of yours through its multimedia effects. A simple dynamic resume comes in PDF format with a flash file (.SWF format) embedded in it. This flash file can display all your tons of experience, skills, etc, without occupying much space of your resume, I.E., within a short space of half-page.
In summary, using DYNAMIC RESUME allows you to stick to the three-page resume constraint without minimizing the stuff you want to convey. Try it!
