One way to get the attention of prospective employers is through a fantastic resume. Your professional degrees, education and experience help you get noticed by recruitment managers. But it is also important to highlight your achievements and skills that can make you stand out from the hundreds of candidates. Here are some tips that Resumes To You offer in our effective resume service that can produce the desired results for you.
Be specific
When listing your accomplishments in your resume, it pays to be specific but without going overboard. For instance, when applying for the position of a sales executive in a car dealership, use your sales percentage figures, your experience in this area and your continuous interest in sales. Let the potential employers know that not only you have experience in the job you are applying for but you still want this as your career. Later when asked, you can talk about these accomplishments in details during the job interview.
Remember to include information that would generate interest in your resume but also focus on your career goals at the same time when crafting your resume.
Plan your selling point
Before putting pen to paper so to say, plan the focus of your resume. Putting information in the resume such as name, education and experience etc are common knowledge and easy to mention. But listing your experiences, accomplishments and skills in the right way is not easy to do. Your resume is your way into that interview cabin with the manager. So don’t be shy to list the unique points of career but be subtle.
Just write enough to generate interest of the recruitment managers but leave the heavy talking for the actual job interview.
Follow Good Style and Formatting
There is a standard style for resumes that is in practice. Things like clean copy or wide margins are things almost everyone knows to do in a resume. But to get the attention of the desired employers, go a step further than the usual. Design professionals can get away with infusing creative elements in their resume such as boxes, columns or a different format style. But this shouldn’t overpower the information presented in the resume. For industries such as engineering or accounting conservative is the way to go. But whatever style you decide for your resume you still need to have a clean and error-free text, neat paper, formatting and presentation.
In short, we can create a resume keeping in mind your industry but still keep the copy professional.
