Introduction

The first step in securing a new job is putting together a compelling resume that showcases your experience, skills and qualifications. There are hundreds of resumes getting submitted for each job advertisement, it is essential be able to make your resume shine. In this article we’ll go over the reasons why it’s important that your resume stand above the rest.

It is important to have an attractive Resume

Your resume should reflect your worth as an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impact on the hiring manager or recruiter who reads it, then you might not be invited in for an interview. Here are a few reasons your resume needs to be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume establishes the credibility of your resume and professionalism before you ever meet with a prospective employer in person.

2. First Impression

You don’t get a second chance to make an initial impression. A high-quality and well created document will generate brand awareness which would benefit you in the future.

3. Employers will remember you

A unique and captivating CV can help recruiters identify the most important points they will remember about you while reviewing the resumes. You stand out other candidates who have their CVs submitted in Word format.

How Can You Make Your Resume Stand Out?

Now that we’ve identified why having a stellar resume is essential, let’s talk about ways that you can enhance your CV:

1. Tailor Your Resume to The Position

Hiring Managers get a ton of documents. You need to tailor yours precisely to fit what they’re looking for, so they don’t get lost in figuring what best fits their company environment, culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Achievements

Don’t just write down your tasks; emphasize your achievements instead of tasks when possible. Utilize statistics and figures to demonstrate your impact in the previous positions you held.

3. Choose a Professional Design

While choosing the most professional design might sound like a no-brainer people, more often than not have resumes that are in various colors or designs they developed with Microsoft Word – this makes it look unprofessional.

Additional Information

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.
