In the recruitment /HR industry, there is something that subconsciously goes through the mind of every Recruiter or Employer every time they have to go through a bulk of application to find the best candidates to shortlist.

That subconscious Test is called the NFR Test- The "Necessitate Further Reading" Test. More often than not CV and Resume can take hours to go through, with so many other job duties to deliver and very little time, Employers and Recruiters find themselves spending 10-20 seconds scanning through a CV or Resume to find key skills to suit a job criteria.

Each and every time when this happens unintentionally the NFR Test is applied.

To make sure your CV or Resume passes the dreaded NFR test in your job hunting efforts feel free to review and Implement the following 7 core Tips:

(1) Make sure Your CV or Resume is targeted and written for a specific vacancy always.

(2) Try and ensure the layout of your CV or Resume is clear, extremely easy to read and follow.

(3) Use bullet points to enforce core strong relevant skills and make sure they are up front and easy to find.

(4) Do not let your CV or Resume be clowned with gaps, unclear information missing dates, too many fonts, and the like.

(7) Let your CV or Resume portrait the fact that you belong to a specific Job Industry, such applications always warrant a further read, as suppose to a CV or Resume that has experience in 6 industries in only a very short space of time.
