Introduction

The first step in securing your next job is to put together a compelling resume that showcases your experience, skills and qualifications. There are hundreds of resumes arriving for every job advertisement, it is essential to discover a way to make your resume shine. In this post we’ll go over the reasons why it’s important to make sure your resume stands out from the rest.

The importance of having an impressive Resume

Your resume should show your value as an employee. If it doesn’t make an immediate impression on the manager hiring or recruiter who sees it, you may not even get called in for an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume must stand out

1. Professional Image

A well-crafted resume establishes the credibility of your resume as well as professionalism before you meet with potential employer in person.

2. First Impression

You never have a second chance to make a first impression. Your high-end, well-designed and crafted document will create brand recognition that will help you later.

3. Helps Employers Recall You

The unique and compelling CV will help recruiters find specific points that they’ll remember about you when working through submissions – standing out from other candidates who submit their CV in word format.

How can you make your resume stand out?

We’ve established the reasons why having a great resume is crucial, let’s discuss ways by which you can enhance your CV:

1. Create a Resume that is tailored to the Position

Hiring Managers get a ton of papers; you need to modify yours precisely to the criteria they’re seeking so they don’t waste time figuring what best fits their company environment, culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Successes

Don’t just write down your duties; highlight your accomplishments rather than tasks when possible. Use statistics and figures to demonstrate the impact you had in previous positions.

3. Choose A Professional Design

Though choosing an professional design may seem like a natural choice for people typically submit resumes in different designs or colors made using Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

Additional Information

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Traralgon Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
