Introduction

The first step in finding a new job is putting together a compelling resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. But with hundreds of applications getting submitted for each job advertisement, it is essential to find a way to make your resume shine. In this article we’ll look at the reasons it’s vital to make sure your resume stands in a sea of other resumes.

The importance of having an impressive Resume

Your resume needs to reflect the value you provide when you are an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impression on the recruiter or hiring manager who reads it, you may not even get called in for an interview. Here are a few reasons your resume should be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A professionally written resume will establish trustworthiness and professionalism prior to meeting with an prospective employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. A high-quality and well crafted document will create brand awareness which would benefit you later.

3. Employers will remember you

Having a unique and intriguing CV can help recruiters identify the most important points they will remember about you while reviewing the resumes. You stand out others candidates who have their CVs submitted in word format.

How can you make your resume Stand Out?

After we’ve clarified the reasons why having a great resume is important, let’s examine ways in which one can update their CV:

1. Tailor Your Resume to The Work

Hiring managers receive a lot of documents. You need to tailor yours precisely to fit what they’re looking for so they don’t waste time figuring which one best suits their company culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Proudest Achievements

Do not just record your tasks; emphasize your achievements instead of duties when it is possible. Utilize statistics and figures to prove the impact you had during your previous jobs.

3. Choose A Professional Design

Though choosing an professional design may seem like a no-brainer people usually, send resumes on different colors or templates they made with Microsoft Word – this makes it look unprofessional.

A wonderful team they have there at Joondalup resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
