How do you get your Résumé to catch the recruiter’s eye?

With the pandemic hitting, the job market equations are now skewed.  Recruiters on average receive 400 résumés for a single job posting. Even if you get past the automated ATS bot, you still have to catch the eye of the human reviewing your profile at the next level. So how does one get noticed by the recruiter:

? Understand what’s the selection criteria for the target role, read the job description critically and tailor your résumé and cover letter.

? Quantify your accomplishments as Aristotle showed us the most effective use of ‘logos’, which is nothing more than logic behind every statement.

? Create a Digital footprint that acts as proof, it’s called social proof and your public online activity relates to just that and of course your endorsements, recommendations on social platforms such as LinkedIn.

? Use your résumé as a personal marketing tool, the more it shows up the more likely you will get noticed.

? Use the foot in the door phenomenon, it simply means seeking small favors increases the likelihood of agreeing to a second, larger request, reach out to potential employers with small requests, and strike a connection.   

? Be a part of a big brand name, if not at work or academics, do a certification, or join a community that has a name that resonates.
