How To Make Your Resume Stand Out

At our job agency in Urbana, we know there are a few simple ways your resume can stand out. Here are four tips from our hiring experts: 

• Check spelling and grammar.  Believe it or not, a lot of resumes are riddled with simple grammar and spelling mistakes. It's one of the biggest red flags for an unprofessional resume. Take the time to run your resume through a spell check and grammar check. Read your resume out loud to help you spot little mistakes. 
• Use precise and clear language.  Hiring managers can sniff out deliberately vague language from a mile away. Be clear, simple, and precise in how you write your resume. Avoid long, run-on sentences and too much jargon. Instead, include specific details, including how long you worked each job. 
• Include relevant work experience.  Don't include every single part-time job you've worked since you were a kid. Instead, find your most relevant work experience and include it. Use reverse chronology, listing most recent experience first. You'll want to adjust this based on the positions you're applying for, but it's worth the extra time. 
• Make it easy to skim.  This one might seem strange, but it's important. Most people will only skim your resume. With this in mind, you want to make sure your resume conveys the most important details at a glance. Using point form will help with this. Limit your resume to one page, or two at most.
