1.

 Update your profile regularly: Make sure you update your profile at least once in 3 months. You
would have added new skills, taken up new responsibilities etc. At the least your no. of years of
experience would have increased. A profile with 4 years and 10 months experience not updated for 3
months would not make it to the recruiters when they search for candidates with more than 5 years of
experience.
2. Resume Headline: Update your resume headline to reflect your summary of experience in few
words. Resume headline catches the attention of the recruiters. The more precise it is, the more
chances of getting noticed by recruiters. For example, “3 years experience in Java/J2EE” is better than
“Experienced in software industry”. Similarly “Senior manager - operations in chemical and polymer
industry” is more precise than ‘Executive in chemical industry”.
3. Enter the right keyskills: It is extremely important that the keyskills you enter in your Naukri
Profile reflect your unqiue professional strengths. What is the best way to enter ‘keyskills’? Fill the
blanks in the following statements: I am proficient in ______; I have developed expertise in ______; I
have done projects in the field of _____; I have a certification in ______; I have a sound knowledge
of _____. Those answers are your ‘keyskills’. Write your Technical skills, soft skills, and tools and
software that you know well.
4. Fill in all relevant fields in your registered profile: Recruiters search candidates based on
various parameters such as ‘Functional Area’, ‘Education’, ‘Current Salary’ etc. Filling all relevant
information will match your profile with more number of prospective employers and thus improve your
chances of a shortlist. Make sure your profile completeness bar displayed in the My Naukri Home
page is close to 100%
5. Verify your contact details: Recruiters may sometimes hesitate to contact an unverified profile.
When an employer sees that your mobile no. and e-mail id are verified, he would be more prompt to
contact you directly. Also many recruiters prefer to use the sms facility to message a candidate.
6. Logging into your account regularly: Your profile’s latest activity date gets modified every time
you log into Naukri. This will indicate to the recruiters that you might be actively looking for job and
that you would be interested in their offer. Profiles that are dormant for many months send a signal
that you are not looking for a new job.
7. Active Resume status: In My Naukri Home page, check your current status of ‘Profile visibility’
displayed under ‘Privacy Settings’ tab. Set your resume status to ‘Active’ if you are looking for a job.
Other options like ‘Inactive’ and ‘Non-searchable’ reduce the visibility of your resume.
8. Add CVNotes regularly: It is important that you have a ‘living resume’- one that is constantly up-
to-date with your recent achievements. Adding CVNotes in your Naukri Profile is the easiest way to
quickly update your resume, showcase your achievements, and reflect your professional personality.
