It is a survey conducted by Istat to reveal that in the course of 2020 they are gone 420,000 jobs were lost, registering a stable unemployment rate in October of last year at 9.8%, but which reaches 30.3% if we take into account the youth population. Without a doubt therefore, there is a huge race for employment and nowadays, more than ever, it is necessary to have the skills that can really make a difference when our curriculum, among the many received from a company, passes through the hands of recruiters.

«Those who deal with selection generally employ between 15 and 30 seconds to understand if a resume is valid for a specific position because he knows where to look for the relevant information and those that, at least in the initial screening phase, are superfluous “he declares Emanuele Franza, director of JHunters – brand of Hunters Group – specialized in the search and selection of professionals, and continues “This means that writing an effective CV, which has a good layout, a clear and consistent structure and does not contain typing errors or typos, it can really make a difference in your search for a new job opportunity. It is always thought that the expression “The CV is a candidate’s business card“Is a cliché, but it is not: it is the first element that allows you to evaluate fundamental elements, such as skills or professional path but also precision or attention, to decide whether or not to continue with an interview”.

In fact, it is the experts at JHunters who reveal to us that very often resumes contain unclear basic information, such as incorrect telephone numbers or email addresses, which would prevent you from contacting the candidate for the purpose of setting up an interview, or lacking in details about skills related to the position you are applying for. Among other things, even the attached photograph would play an important role therefore, although it does not necessarily have to be included in a CV, this must be in an ID photo style and not cropped from a family or last vacation photo.
