What Does A Perfect Resume Look Like?

​What does a perfect resume look like?

Great Resume Skills

​Many people are actively in search of a new job. If you are looking to find a new job, the quality of your resume can make all the difference. Careful presentation and clean formatting can make it easier for you to write the perfect resume and it may just help you land your dream job faster.
 
Here are some quick resume tips to get you started:

2020 Resume Tips

TARGETING. Your resume and cover letter must reflect your objective. This means placing the relevant data in a section where it will be noticed even when speedreading.

  • The Hiring Manager is not always the first person who will see your resume. Remember that your resume will be screened by other people as well as applicant tracking systems. You will increase your chances of being seen when you consider these resume building tips.
 
SUMMARIZE IT. The idea is to provide as much information as needed using as few words as possible. Proper bragging is ok, but please do not fill your resume with fluff or industry jargon. Chances are your potential employer won't have a lot of time to read every detail, so stay focused on what matters.
 
SHOWCASE YOUR SKILLS. Don't create a long list with any and every skill you have. The key is to be brief and to the point. Find the proper terms to describe your skills (the ones most in-demand). Use those terms in your resume to create a flow. This resume building tip alone can greatly help your resume stand out and improve your chances of getting noticed.
 
KEYWORDS. Have you included the relevant keywords? Review your resume and include the job title you are seeking along with the keywords that best describe your target position.

  • If you were the employer and needed to hire someone with your skills, what words would you use to start your search online to find someone like you?
 
DON’T GET TOO CREATIVE. A little style is fine, but when you get into intricate designs or colored textured paper, you are breaking the rules. The key is balance. Try to stand out while you respect the rules, not otherwise. For example, if you are a Graphic Designer, it doesn't mean you must have a resume that contains too many elements of graphic design. If you are a pet Veterinarian, it does not mean that you must have cartoon images of cats and dogs on your resume. Such actions may work against your goal of getting hired. In other words, some hiring managers may suspect that perhaps based on the appearance of your resume, you may not be too interested in learning the right way of doing things. 
 
START WITH ACTION VERBS. Start your sentences with action verbs. Be mindful of the tense you are using. If a project is listed under your current job and yet it is something that you completed in the past, please feel free to use the past tense when using action verbs, even if the project is listed under your present job.

  • A good example of using action verbs is starting a sentence with "Directed" or "Coached" instead of starting a description with "I was in charge of the department."
 
BULLET POINTS. Don't ever underestimate the power of bullet points in a resume. Stay away from writing long paragraphs. The bullet points should not be longer than two (2) to two and a half (2.5) lines. A bullet point with five (5) lines is no longer a bullet point. It's a paragraph. Keep in mind that your job is to help employers find the details they are looking for quickly.
 
TWO PAGES AND NOT LONGER. Perhaps you feel the need to explain the details. Please do not be tempted to include more detail than necessary. Also, do not clutter your document. Here is an important rule: In a resume, white space is your friend. Try to have enough white space.

  • If you must go beyond the two- page rule, learn to use an addendum.
 
USING TEMPLATES. Think twice about using templates. A template may be useful when you are looking for ideas or trying to figure out what a resume should look like. However, stay away from using the template as your own resume, because that design is never exclusive to you. It is a template that others are using as well.

  • Looking like everyone else is not the best strategy if you truly want to stand out from your competition.
 
CREATE AN ERROR-FREE DOCUMENT. Please review your resume carefully. Every expert will advise you not to submit a resume with errors. Check the grammar thoroughly and avoid typing errors.

If you want to land your dream job, learn to revive your network, brand yourself, and make your resume stand out. The only thing you have to do next is to ace the video interview and you will be well on your way!
