Bangalore: You may be a perfect candidate for the open position, but the hiring manager is never going to know if he discards your resume after a mere glance. Even in the era of information technology and online professional networking, a great resume still is and remains the corner-stone of a successful job hunt.



Take a look at the things that can land your resume on top of the pile, as reported by Olivia Adams of ComeRecommended.



1. Reach Out To Companies and Start Networking with Employers: Start by carrying out a thorough research regarding the companies within the purview of your proficiency. Once you figure out the ins and outs of the various companies within the sector, start reaching out to the employees or other professionals associated with the target company. Try to make the best of the available resources and look out for alumnus from your college who are associated with the firm.



2. Reach Out People Who Were Previously Associated with the Firm: Reaching out people who were previously associated with the firm can be especially helpful for aspirants who are on a look out for lucrative internship programs. In all probability, the previous interns or the ex-employees will be more than happy to give valuable insights regarding the firm or tips to ace the future interviews.
