Job Tips: Resumé Tips #1
I find helpful and easy-to-follow job application resources so you don’t have to! Visit my Padlet and check out the YouTube video “5 Easy Resumé Hacks to Stand Out in 2024” by Cindy Makita or read the summary below:
Turn responsibilities into achievements - show measurable results (e.g. Led team of 5 vs. Led team of 5 to 30% increase in productivity.)
Have a specific headline below your name; this serves as a one-line unique value proposition! Make sure the headline has the job title in order to rank high in the company’s Application Tracking System.
Use key words from the job description: add to designated key skills and integrate key words into rest of resume.
Add your LinkedIn url to the contact section. It is an extension of your resumé & lets recruiters and hiring managers know you have an online presence
Embrace white space. Don’t stuff your resume with too much information. Make it easy for the recruiter or manager to skim your resumé and find the relevant key words.
Happy job hunting and don’t hesitate to message me if you need more support!
