Introduction

The first step to finding your next job is to put together a compelling resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. However, with thousands of applications getting submitted for each job advertisement, you have to find a way to ensure that your resume shine. In this article, we’ll explore why it’s essential to make sure your resume stands out from the rest.

Important to have a striking Resume

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

1. Professional Image

A professionally written resume will establish the credibility of your resume as well as professionalism before you meet with an prospective employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

There is never a second chance to make a first impression. Your high-end, well-designed and constructed document will build brand awareness which would benefit your business in the future.

3. Employers will remember you

An original and interesting CV is a great way to help recruiters pinpoint key points they remember about you when working through CVs. It also helps you stand out from others candidates who have their CVs submitted in Microsoft Word format.

How Can Your Resume Stand Out?

After we’ve clarified the reason why a well-written resume is essential, let’s discuss ways by which one can improve their CV:

1. Customize Your Resume for The Job

Hiring Managers receive tons of documents; tailor yours precisely to match what they’re looking for so they don’t have to think about what best fits their company the culture, etc.

2. Highlight Your Highlight Your

Do not just record your tasks; emphasize your achievements over responsibilities where possible. Use statistics and figures to prove your accomplishments in previous positions.

3. Select A Professional Design

While selecting an professional design might sound like a natural choice for people typically, send resumes on various colors or designs they developed using Microsoft Word – this makes it appear unprofessional

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 After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume.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.
