Introduction

The first step in finding the perfect job is to put together a stunning resume that showcases your experience, skills and qualifications. However, with thousands of applications getting submitted for each job advertisement, it is essential to find a way to create a resume shine. In this post we’ll go over the reasons why it’s essential that your resume stand in a sea of other resumes.

Important to have a striking Resume

Your resume should show your value when you are an employee. If it fails to make an immediate impression on the manager hiring or recruiter who sees it, you might not be invited in for an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume should stand out

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume establishes credibility and professionalism before you even meet with an potential employer in person.

2. First Impression

There is never a second chance to make an initial impression. Your high-end, well-designed and designed document will help create brand recognition that will help you later.

3. Employers will remember you

Having a unique and intriguing CV can help recruiters identify specific points that they’ll remember about you while reviewing CVs. It also helps you stand out from other candidates who send their CVs in word format.

How Can Your Resume stand out?

After we’ve clarified the reason why a well-written resume is important, let’s talk about ways that one can update their CV:

1. Customize Your Resume for The Job

Hiring managers receive a lot of papers; you need to modify yours precisely to what they’re looking for, so they don’t get lost in figuring what is most appropriate for their business environment, culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Successes

Don’t just write down the duties you have to perform. Highlight your accomplishments rather than your responsibilities when you can. Make use of statistics and figures to show your accomplishments in your previous roles.

3. Choose a Professional Design

Though choosing the most professional design might sound like a no-brainer for many, more often than not have resumes that are in different templates or colors created using Microsoft Word – this makes it 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 After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume.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.
