10 Resume Tips and Hacks 

 

If you are on the job market looking for some tips and tricks to tighten your resume. I have put together 10 hacks for you. I wish you all the best in your job search. You will celebrate soon.

 

1.     First things first, update your resume. Include your latest work project and experiences. 

2.     Now, update your online resume: LinkedIn, Indeed, etc . Let this match the resume you will be sending in. 

3.     Ensure your resume is readable. 

4.     Let someone else review and proofread your resume. They might catch the errors that you missed.

5.     Limit it to two pages. It’s not a CV, it’s a resume. 

6.     Do not put your picture on your resume unless its industry required. I say this because of the biases and the subjective nature of recruitment.

7.     List your accomplishments and not your responsibilities. The focus should be on what you were able to achieve in your previous position and not so much what you did. 

8.     Every job posting is different and as such, every resume needs to be tailored to the job you are applying to. Regardless of the work experiences you have, state only the relevant work experience for the job you are applying to.

9.     Do not send one resume to all the jobs you are applying to. (Refer to point 8)

10.  Do not lie on your resume.

 

And until next time, know that 

You are enough, you are worthy!

Learn to Live life in the present 

And know that nothing last forever so everything will be fine!
