Introduction

The first step in finding the perfect job is to put together a stunning resume that showcases your experience, skills and qualifications. But with hundreds of applications being submitted for each job advertisement, you have to discover a way to ensure that your resume shine. In this post, we’ll explore why it’s important to make sure your resume stands out from the rest.

The importance of having an impressive Resume

Your resume must reflect the value you bring when you are an employee. If it does not make an immediate impact on the recruiter or hiring manager who sees it, you might not get invited to an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume needs to stand out:

1. Professional Image

A well-crafted resume establishes confidence and professionalism before you ever meet with a potential employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

You don’t get a second chance to make an initial impression. Your high-end, well-designed and created document will generate the impression of a brand that will be beneficial to you later.

3. Employers will remember you

The unique and compelling CV can assist recruiters in identifying the most important points they will remember about you as they review the resumes. You stand out others candidates that submit CV in word format.

How to Make Your Resume Stand Out?

Now that we’ve identified why having a stellar resume is important, let’s look at ways you can enhance your CV:

1. Customize Your Resume for The Work

Hiring managers receive a lot of papers; you need to modify yours precisely to what they’re looking for, so they don’t have to think about what is most appropriate for their business the culture, etc.

2. Highlight Your Achievements

Don’t just write down the duties you have to perform. Highlight your accomplishments rather than responsibilities where possible. Use figures and statistics to show your accomplishments in the previous positions you held.

3. Choose a professional design

Though choosing the most professional style may sound like a no-brainer people, more often than not, send resumes on different designs or colors made with Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Geraldton resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
