Senior professionals quick to brand ‘I’ online: Survey

Instead of waiting for the last moment when they have to apply for a job,professionals now-a-days prefer to quickly highlight their achievements during the year gone by and keep their resumes in line with their new career goals. This trend was reflected in the findings of the survey by HeadHonchos.com,a job search & career portal,exclusively for senior professionals,which said there was a surge of almost 53 per cent in resumes being updated in May 2013 when compared to April 2013,with the momentum to refresh resumes picking up in March and April and peaking in May. ”

The first quarter of a financial year brings changes in the career profiles of most professionals. The resume is meant to capture the essence of a professional’s performance that’s why people are proactively ensuring that their resumes reflect important changes in their responsibilities,KRAs (key responsibility areas) and even designation,” HeadHonchos.com CEO Uday Sodhi said.

As a resume acts as a snapshot of a professional’s career,updating resumes in this phase also ensures that important facts and figures relating to one¿s career are captured in a timely manner,the report said.
