How to make your resume stand out

How to get your resume noticed

You already know first impressions last... If you want to make a lasting impression, you must relate to what your audience is looking for. So, first put yourself in the shoes of hiring managers. 

Fortunately, there are easy ways of tweaking your content to help you make your resume stand out from the crowd. You will find below for a few tried and true suggestions:


1. Use Bullet Points
A potential employer may not have the time to read carefully the resumes that he receives. The first feature of a career resume that stands out is the bullet points. This gives the employer the opportunity to quickly analyze your resume to make sure you have the qualifications you need and meet the minimum requirements for a job. If you make scanning your resume too difficult, you risk an employer who does not even bother to read the message.

 
2. Start With A Summary Section
  • THE SUMMARY IS: A brief introduction of the resume content. It is an “Introductory” paragraph to introduce the content of your resume briefly, at first.
  • THE SUMMARY IS NOT: A brief introduction of you or your character. It is not an “Introductory” paragraph to introduce you personally. 

If this is done right, you can draw your audience to read the rest of your resume. Moreover, by clearly making this distinction, you can demonstrate your writing skills.


3. Customize Your Resume - NO TEMPLATES
A generic resume receives a generic response, if any.

Tailor your resume to capture your audience. Emphasize your qualifications for that specific job, based on the job description’s keywords. If you are applying for a Marketing Executive position, make sure your resume does not scream Finance. Revise your resume to focus on the employers’ needs; add jobs you may have removed which relate more to what you are applying for.

 
4. Outline Your Accomplishments
Your accomplishments speak louder than your skills. Other resumes may reflect the same skills, but your accomplishments are unique to you. Put them in value. Did you save the company $10,000 by auditing an account or a P&L? What did you do that was above and beyond your job description? You must show that you have done what they are looking for. That is very important if you want to stand out from the crowd.
​
 
5. Avoid Resume Jargon
Padding your resume with unnecessary information or simply too many embellishing words will not help your quest for that ideal position. Make sure your details are pertaining to the job requirements. Adding personal information is only valuable if it relates to the job, the industry, or the company, be it through volunteer jobs or a trade association you belong to. These informational “fillers” belong on a junior level resume, not an executive resume.  Of course, if you are a TaeKwanDo Champion, you can and should find a place for it on your resume. It actually says a lot about you, but this example is not only rare but justifies being mentioned.

A great resume (on paper, visual, digital and online)  is the number one step to presenting yourself no matter what your career level is.

    My experience in resume writing was built over time dating back to when I joined the staffing industry as a Recruiter. It has been three decades since that time.

    Aside from preparing your new resume, I can share insights with you about the interviewers' point of view as an added-value; i.e.: The thought process behind many of the standard interview questions, how to use them to your advantage, and much more...
