Top Tips to Update Your Resume
Chandler, AZ - January 26, 2022
The start of a new year can prompt many people to start looking for new employment. If you're one of these people, you may be asking what the first step is. A
provider of staffing in Chandler, AZ
has the answer - update your resume!
1) Contact Info
First things first, make sure that your phone number and email are up to date and accurate. You don't want to be passed up for a great opportunity because you provided an old phone number or misspelled your own email address.
2) Formatting
It's important for your resume to be formatted in a way that is easy for the hiring manager to look through and read. Another helpful tip is to make sure that you organize your work experience with bullet points instead of writing them out in a lengthy paragraph (leave that for your cover letter). This will help you to avoid a cluttered, confusing layout and make it easier for the hiring manager to quickly scan through your resume.
3) Color Scheme
This may sound like a strange one, but the color scheme of your resume can really help to make it more modern and sleeker looking. This doesn't mean that you have to go crazy and add ten different colors all over the place - instead, try using one or two accent colors throughout your resume.
4) Page Length
The page length of your resume is also something to consider. If you're overwhelmed with the number of jobs you've had and you're wondering how far back to go, try to list only positions relevant to the job you are applying for. If you are struggling, just remember - hiring managers look at dozens if not hundreds of resumes and you want to make sure that your resume is no more than one page and highlights your top skills and experience.
5) Spelling/Grammar
Lastly, it is important to make sure that your resume is properly edited and free of spelling and grammatical errors. Remember, you don't want to give a hiring manager cause to place your resume in the no pile because of a few silly mistakes.
So, there you have it, five tips to update your resume. We hope these tips are helpful and wish everyone the best of luck in their
job search
in 2022!
