In any competitive job market it is crucial to have a resume that not only introduces yourself, your experience, and what you bring to a role, but also stands out over the rest. We recently polled our recruiting team for tips on making a resume stand out, and the answer was clear across the board: Remember the basics! To start, a resume with good formatting that is clean and easy to read immediately catches a recruiter’s attention! Things like double-checking your spelling and using the same font throughout a document shows a potential employee’s professionalism. How do you organize the information you give in a simple way? Our team has the following suggestions: 1: Include both a phone number and email at the top as well as your city and state. You’d be surprised how often this step is missed! 2: List your job history in order from most recent to oldest. Include your high school education and the name of any other schooling you completed, along with the accreditations and accolades you earned. 3: Make sure your employment dates contain both MONTH and YEAR, along with recognizable job titles. Include a few bullets or a short summary of your responsibilities for each position, tailoring the experience listed to reflect how it makes you a good fit for the job you’re applying for. 4: Create a summary of your applicable skills for each position you apply for towards the top of the resume, including "Hard skills". Not just the soft skills like "Hard working" or "Detail-Oriented". The hard skills are clear experiences or equipment and software you know how to use! You have one chance to sell yourself! Spend time on your resume and truly tell your story in a way that is clean, simple, and easy to read!
