Introduction

The first step to finding the perfect job is to put together a compelling resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. With hundreds of applicants coming in for each job advertisement, it is essential to figure out how to create a resume shine. In this post we’ll discuss the reasons why it’s vital that your resume stands above the rest.

It is important to have an attractive Resume

Your resume should show the value you provide as an employee. If it doesn’t make an immediate impression 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 be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume establishes credibility as well as professionalism prior to meeting with your potential 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 the impression of a brand that will be beneficial to you in the future.

3. Helps Employers Remember You

A unique and captivating CV will help recruiters find key points they remember about you as they review 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?

We’ve established why having a stellar resume is critical let us examine ways in which one can update their CV:

1. Tailor Your Resume to The Job

Hiring managers receive a lot of documents. You need to tailor yours precisely to match the requirements of their hiring managers so they don’t spend time trying to figure out what is most appropriate for their business style, culture and so on.

2. Highlight Your Highlight Your

Don’t just write down the duties you have to perform. Highlight your accomplishments instead of the tasks when possible. Use figures and statistics to prove your accomplishments during your previous jobs.

3. Choose A Professional Design

While selecting a professional style may sound like a simple decision for some typically, send resumes on different colors or templates they designed with 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 After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume.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.
