Your resume is one of the most important tools you need when applying for a job. A good resume is the first thing that an employer will see, so if you do not have a good one, you may never get an interview. In today’s crowded job market, you must ensure your profile makes you stand out from the crowd.
There is a lot of advice out there, some good, some bad & some contradictory. However, the truth is, that a resume is an archaic tool for helping recruiters in narrowing down their search for qualified candidates from the 1000s of applications they receive every day. And with the advent of AI, resumes are put through the ATS system that intelligently sorts them for the recruiter. Follow these tips to write an awesome resume:
🤞Keep it real, keep it concise, crisp and clear and made within a max of 2 A4 sized pages.
🤞Write a summary or cover letter to show how you are the right fit candidate to do the job.
🤞If you have a gap, it could be an issue, but try to make a positive impression of the situation.
🤞Explain your impact on the role and company, rather than list your daily activities.
🤞Make sure you pay attention to formatting and sections making it reader friendly.
🤞Proofread your resume numerous times for typos and grammar.
🤞Tailor your resume to suit the position you are applying for.
🤞Use action verbs and bold your accomplishments.
