Posted by Mildura Resume on 23 Sep 2024

Are you currently on your job search? If so, then you’re aware how competitive the job market of today is. With businesses searching for the perfect employee to add their company, it’s tough to make yourself standout the crowd – particularly in the case of a resume that is identical to everyone else’s.

Key Takeaways

  • In the current competitive job market having a strong resume is crucial to stand out from the crowd.
  • A well-crafted resume establishes credibility and professionalism before you meet with a potential employer face-to-face.
  • Your resume should be tailored to meet what you are asked to do and emphasize your achievements instead of listing your duties.
  • Choose a professional design over flashy templates or color.
  • Feedback from your peers and experts in your field can help increase your chances of standing out.
  • An outstanding resume can help make sure yours ends up in the management of hiring managers and recruiters, who will make choices that can drastically affect your future career path.

Introduction

The first step towards securing an employment opportunity is to put together a stunning resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. There are hundreds of resumes getting submitted for each job advertisement, you have to find a way to ensure that your resume shine. In this post, we’ll explore why it’s important that your resume stand out from the rest.

Important to have a striking Resume

Your resume must reflect your worth as an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impression on the recruiter or hiring manager who is reading it, you might not even be called to an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume should stand out

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume establishes the credibility of your resume and professionalism before you ever meet with your prospective employer in person.

2. First Impression

You never have a second chance at making a first impression. A high-quality and well crafted document will create brand recognition that will help you later.

3. Helps Employers Remember You

The unique and compelling CV can assist recruiters in identifying crucial points that they’ll be able to recall about you while reviewing the resumes. You stand out others candidates who send their CVs in Word format.

How Can Your Resume Stand Out?

Now that we’ve seen the reasons why having a great resume is essential, let’s examine ways in which one can improve their CV:

1. Create a Resume that is tailored to the job

Hiring Managers get a ton of papers; you need to modify yours precisely to match the criteria they’re seeking so they don’t get lost in figuring what best fits their company style, culture and so on.

2. Highlight Your Proudest Achievements

Don’t just write down the duties you have to perform. Highlight your achievements over responsibilities where possible. Make use of statistics and figures to show your impact in previous positions.

3. Choose A Professional Design

Although selecting an professional design might sound like a natural choice for people typically will send resumes with various colors or designs they designed using Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

Additional Information

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Mildura Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Mildura Resume.
