Once you have got the employers attention, you have done your job. The following are a few reasons, why most résumés do not get the employers interest.
Typos
The most common mistake in a résumé is the typos. You need to proofread it again and again. Check the spellings. If you are not good at English then ask your neighbor or your friend to do it for you. Ask them to review it, look for grammatical mistakes. Be careful of the tenses. People often begin with past tense and go on to present and so on. It only reflects carelessness.
Font faults
Don't use small fonts. Also, avoid using many kinds of fonts. Your résumé will be scanned. The type should be easy to read and to follow. Employers are not interested in spending much time on it, they will not read it if they can't follow. Use the same font and the type at least at a 10 point.
Your language skills say a lot about you, you will not want to ruin your chances of getting a job with these simple mistakes.
Your résumé should be presentable and readable as well
