I was fortunate enough to be featured in this fantastic article by Upjourney: ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐บ๐ฒ (๐ฎ๐ฌ+ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐)
The first thing that employers look for when searching for potential candidates is a well-written resume. That is why you, as a job seeker, need to ensure that your document speaks volumes about you and your skills.
But then again, what would capture the attention of the recruiters and hiring managers? What would help you get on the top of their list?
Here are the things employers look for in a resume.
๐ My take (a summary of the main sections):
๐ Ensure it has optimized keywords, quantifiable content, and well-formatted
๐ Ensure you set the tone with what you want and what you offer
๐ Do not write your experience as task-based
๐ Identify your relevance in terms of value to a prospective employer
๐ Make sure to incorporate key buzzwords/skills that you offer
๐ Your summary should be 3-5 sentences (written in one paragraph)
๐ Make sure you follow the rules of a tightly written rรฉsumรฉ
๐ Ensure that the experience section demonstrates your value
๐ Stick to the traditional format
๐ Add a little color without overdoing it
What are your thoughts on how the resume should look and say?
Chime in over here and join the conversation.
