When you are looking for employment with Chicago financial advisors, there may not be one single rule or maxim for keeping your resume from being misclassified as a spam message. Different spam filters work in different ways. However, there are some general things you can look out for. It's generally better to copy and paste your resume into the body of the message instead of attaching a document file. First, many financial services recruiters are busy and won't take the time to open your document file when other resumes in their inbox are pasted right into the message. Secondly, some email filtering systems reject messages with documents attached for fears the document could be infected with a virus.
Although financial services recruiters prefer enthusiasm in a resume than when where boring words and phrases are used, some words can set off spam filters. Words to avoid include: "free," and "trial." If you use exclamation points in your resume, do so sparingly and don't use more than one exclamation point in succession (e.g. writing "Great!" would be safer than "Great!!"). Also, don't use multiple colors in your emails to financial advisor recruiting firms. It looks unprofessional and some email filters see colors as an indication of a spam message. Some job seekers run their resumes through spam filters first before emailing to financial services headhunters. If you have a spam filter installed on your PC, this can be a simple step to take to increase the likelihood your resume is getting delivered.
If your email software has a "Read Receipt" feature which can alert you when a recipient has opened a message, you may be tempted to use it when sending your resume to a financial advisor recruiter. While it would be an effective way of knowing your message was delivered, it is not recommended on the grounds that the headhunter Chicago could view it in a negative way. No one likes to be spied on, and most email programs will cause a warning message to show up if a read receipt will be generated.
Once you are reasonably sure your resume isn't getting dismissed by spam filters, the next step is to get a financial services recruiter to want to open and read your resume. There are several things to keep in mind when pursuing this goal. First, make sure you are sending your resume to someone it's relevant for. If the recruiter specializes in engineering jobs, don't send them a financial advisor jobs resume. Do a little research about financial advisor recruiting firms or employer first and come up with a subject line that is targeted to their situation. After the headhunter Chicago has opened your email, you want to make sure they can quickly understand your capabilities by having an easy to read and powerfully written resume.
