5 resume writing tips to attract potential employers!
Here are 5 ideas to help create an attractive resume (although it can attract it, it doesn’t mean “pretty”. I think attracting people to your people!
1. Keywords!
Keywords are like “position, location, location” in real estate. They are the foundation of any good resume and how you will design a resume that will stand out. This is especially true when it comes to online resumes. To effectively use keywords in your resume, first select specific job keywords related to your previous work experience, achievements, and career goals. Keywords that hire managers or recruiters to search in their applicant database or search on the job board must be included in your resume. A recruiter or potential employer is not looking for personality descriptors or vague soft skills, such as a “team collaborator” or a good talk. “When writing your resume, use functional skills and personal titles such as foundation accountants, contract negotiations, and benefits and loss management.
2. Make your resume specialize in the job you are applying for.
Too many job seekers have built a resume and screamed, “Look at me!” They have a list of responsibilities that potential employers may not care about. A better resume includes responsibilities from your previous job that best applies to the position you applied for. All of these are legal qualifications for the position, and they are exactly the position employers are looking for. Select similar milestones and achievements and add them to the list.
3. Don’t just mention responsibilities; include achievements and achievements.
Employers are interested in learning what you can accomplish for them and the added value benefits or skills you can provide. Choose achievements related to the position you interviewed for. To help you develop a resume that meets your company’s needs directly, work beyond the company’s website or LinkedIn profile to learn more about its philosophy, goals, and vision. A great resume focused on the organization you want as many as you want. Remember, AI can make it easier for you. Upload your resume without contact information and job description. Ask it to tailor your resume to ensure that your revised resume is accurate.
4. Write an interesting opening summary statement.
Your opening speech should be related to the position you are applying for and sell the largest attributes and skills related to a specific role (again, AI can help you do this). When reading an introductory statement, employers look for something that gets attention because it fits what they find in someone. They want it to convince them that they are the ones you qualify for the position and to lure them to read the rest of your resume. Make it more than a simple statement of fact, like they haven’t made it clear yet, you have to respond to what the company wants and needs, not just what you expect from them.
5. In the main knowledge or skills section, highlight your strengths.
Use industry-specific keywords in this section. If you include keywords here and sprinkle them throughout your resume, you have the opportunity to enter the applicant tracking system or the first chance to appear in the job board search for potential employers.
Your goal is to prove to people that you have the experience they want and need so that you have the opportunity to interview the position. Attract them with keywords and find places and ways to wow potential employers so that they want to “ask you” during an interview is your purpose of writing your resume.
Finally, make sure your LinkedIn profile and resume are consistent. I’ve never interviewed many people because there is no alignment between the two, let alone the positions.
