Description

For any given job opening, HR personnel and hiring managers are deluged with resumes. Since they don’t have the time or resources to interview everyone, they are always looking for ways to weed out candidates as quickly as possible.

In fact, some merely glance at each resume before deciding whether to toss it in the "yes" or "no" pile. So, it's imperative that you make those few seconds count.

Here are some ways to make your resume stand out:

A good unique design can catch the attention of the recruiter

Incorporate industry keywords and buzzwords into your resume, but don’t overdo it. Use words and phrases like "accomplished," "developed," "managed," and "team player" in the natural language of the document “If your resume makes it through the filtering system, but it is evident to the reader that you were successful because of 'keyword stuffing,' the reader will feel you just gamed the system and will place your resume in the ‘no’ pile.”


Tailor your resume to the job. “Tune your resume to this specific role, with substantiating detail that shows why you are a great fit for the position. One way to do this is by including all of your skills and experience that are relevant to the job you're applying for.


Use a modern, professional format. Format your resume so that it is pleasing to the eye but doesn't focus more on visuals than content.

Use a header. Include a clear, hard-hitting statement at the very top of the resume that effectively defines who you are, keeping the specific position in mind.”
