Ever wondered why your meticulously crafted resume often goes unnoticed?
You're not alone.
The stark reality is this:
A recruiter spends only ~6 seconds on average scanning a resume. Yes, just six!
Most people wonder, ""How can I make an impact in such a short time?"" That's where we step in, with tried-and-tested tips to make those six seconds count.
1) Start with Action: Kick-start your bullet points with action verbs. This simple tweak makes your resume instantly more dynamic and engaging. ""Managed"", ""Delivered"", and ""Implemented"" sound far more impressive than ""Responsible for"", don't they?
2) Showcase Hard Skills: Highlight your hard skills clearly and confidently. These are your unique selling points, the tools in your toolbox. Be it coding languages, data analysis or digital marketing, ensure they have a front-row seat on your resume.
3) Metrics = Impact: Nothing screams impact louder than metrics. ""Increased sales by 20%"" or ""Improved site traffic by 30%"" gives a clear picture of your capabilities, catching a recruiter's attention like a flare in the dark.
Those are some of the key parts of your resume, but if you want to hear more ways, you can see my viral LinkedIn post which explains more in-depth!
Remember, your resume is your first impression, your elevator pitch. It's the key that opens doors to opportunities. Put in the time, the effort, to make it the best representation of you. After all, you deserve to be noticed, don't you?
Here's to landing your dream job,
