These days submitting resume to potential employers has become a piece of cake. With increasing job sites and companies advertising their needs on their web sites, you are just a few clicks away to sending your resume. But, that does not mean it gets read and noticed. The more easy this gets, the more careless the candidates get. It’s not about how many companies you have applied to, it’s about how serious you are to work for a given company. It’s important to choose the company, study the company, align your interests with the companies long term goal. If these are not well aligned, very soon one will feel the stress, as passion would be lacking.

Key is to differentiate yourself from the crowd. Remember, the HR who sorts through thousands of resume for a said job will spend less than 1 minute per resume. Unless he/she finds something interesting and creative, the resume would go into the trash bin. If you are a fresher and don’t have much experience to show, you got to get creative.

Not having work experience does not mean you are not intellectually and technically sound.

This is where CodeMunch can help you differentiate from thousands of resumes. When you actively participate in groups, start intelligent threads, respond to others queries. One is not only becoming more technically savvy, but one is also proving to the world that he/she can tackle situations and get the said job done.

Add to it, the added advantage of having friends review your resume, rate and comment on it. Just another way to know where you would stand in the crowd. These could be friends or potential employers seeing how the community views you.

Happy munching!
