Is it really a good practice to copy others Resumes?

Using the very Same Resume every time is not a good practice upgrading your career.

There is no such thing as one resume fits for all position. Every resume must be customized to every position. It appears like a lot of work – and it is – however, those candidates who take the time to customize their resumes minimize their job hunt by months, sometimes it even takes years. Here are some few limitations of copying others resume:

1. Lying on Your Resume

There was a time before LinkedIn when a candidate could pretty much say anything and it was extremely difficult to make out if that person was lying or not. No more. If you are having a LinkedIn profile then you should have better not lie on it. Your colleagues, friends, and co-workers will see instantly that you’ve evaded the truth. They won’t cherish it. Neither will a hiring manager. Most industries are impartially blinkered like a bubble, if you are within that bubble, you’ll be known as a liar and no company will invite you for an interview. 

2. A copycat person takes the “personal” out of the equation.

A “personal” brand is a brand which is related with a specific “person,” nominated to shriek with their specific targeted employers, to proclaim that person’s distinctive set of personal attributes, motivated strengths, passions, and useful theories. The content you’re copying may look like yours, but it’s really not your original story.
You should pay attention to creating vigorous content that will produce chemistry for the type of person you are, how you create things and situations for employers, and what makes you suitable for your target employers.

3.  Be Original




The attainments that you copy from someone else resume couldn’t possibly be the same as yours. The circumstances and conditions, people are involved, metrics, and facts and figures are all different.  Even if there's a slight difference.
Your own way of tackling the problems will lead you to reach great heights.  Don’t copy settle for common achievement statements that look good, but aren’t really worthy for you.
4. It may not be valid for your circumstances.

The well-written and well-versed content that’s tormenting you may not do the job that your Linked profile is meant to do – ranging from what you have within yourself to offer with the present day needs of your targeted employers.

5. It may create identity confusion and conflicts.



The RESUME through which you copied the content from may belong to a job seeker who is targeting the same companies you are. What are you supposed to do when the company's’ employers and hiring managers and HR team paid attention to the same content of two candidates they’re considering for the same job? You’ll both look like copy cats, and you’ll both get rejected. Nobody will get hired.

6.  Copying



Copying degrade your personal brand and bring your position and morality in question.
If the HR team and recruiting professionals find out, that you menace your opportunities to grab the jobs you want. What does copying convey about your morality? What kind of employee you will be if you have no morals about copyrighted content?

So the bottom line of this content is

You’re an original. Reflect that in the Resume you create and LinkedIn profile you update. Jobs don’t land up from using someone else’s Resuming and copying it. Opportunities will always come when you have the abilities and original qualities to grab them.

It’s fine to have look at the Resumes and LinkedIn profiles of your contenders for ideas to help with the right keywords, but don’t be eager to just copy and paste parts of content into your own Resume.
