Humans always tends to make mistakes and here there is no second chance. After a lot of hurdles and spending on finding a similar job, there is no room for errors.
Before making Cv /Resume in to PDF format, make sure to double check these below details :
1. Spelling & Correct tenses ( Past vs Present )
Check grammar on your resume before clicking ‘submit’. Don’t just rely on Microsoft Word to catch misspellings, read and re-read your resume to catch potential errors. Then, send your resume to a friend to have them read through.
As a general rule, if an action or accomplishment on your resume is in the past, use the past tense. However, if you are speaking about a current role and current accomplishments, use the present tense. Hiring managers cringe when they see this mistake on a resume, so as you’re editing, be sure to use the correct tense: manage vs. managed, deliver vs. delivered, execute vs. executed.
Tip: Use online website like “Grammerly” or download it in laptop.

2. Font size and Consistency
“We only have one chance to make a first impression, so when someone opens a [resume], those first eight or nine seconds is that first impression,If the font isn’t appealing and easy on the eyes, that person clicks off the document and the candidate is toast.”
Stick to the basics — Helvetica, Times New Roman, Lato. Resist the urge to “stand out from the crowd” by employing multiple fonts and various sizes. Two fonts and two sizes, max.
3. Use Numbers & Facts Where Applicable
“Substantiate your accomplishments with numbers,” When you’re working in a job where your achievements are quantified, includingis the best way to get your application noticed. For example, if you’re in sales,how you exceeded your goals is a sure-fire way to impress a prospective employer. Some more recruiters prefer to see actual numbers (such as “Annual Sales of AED 1 Million”), while others prefer percentages (“Annual Sales by 15 percent”). Either way, provide enough context to show the impact and do not rely on generalities to get your point across.

4. Delivery Format
You’ve spent hours formatting your resume and getting the bullet points to line up perfectly so that your entire work history fits on two pages. Don’t lose that perfect format by sending a resume as a Microsoft Word doc. I recommend using a PDF and ensure clear delivery if the recruiter doesn’t insist any format . And don’t worry, PDF resumes are no longer a problem for an employer’s applicant tracking system (ATS). Keyword searchs and matching requirements will still be possible in a PDF format.
5. File Naming
Please refrain from naming your resume file “Resume.pdf” or “SanamResume.pdf” try to be specific. This is for your benefit as well as the recruiter. The best way to name a resume is to include your full name, month, and year. For example, “SanamBp-July2019.pdf.” This lets the recruiter know who you are and reminds you of the date of the last revision of this resume. This way, you won’t be confused by which draft is which.
