4 Tips and Tricks to Improve Your Resume
Covina, CA - October 27, 2021
Are you looking for a job? Have you been unemployed for a while and need to spruce up your resume? If so, this blog post is perfect for you. Your local staffing firm Express Employment Professionals will teach you about how to create an amazing resume that will get the attention of employers and land you an interview. We discuss four tips and tricks that can help improve your chances of getting hired!
- Try not to be too wordy when describing your duties and responsibilities for each job. Keep it short, sweet, and simple!
- Be specific! If you had "responsibilities" at work that did not include anything about caring for others or otherwise relating directly to customers or clients, then do not list this as one of your job's responsibilities. Your goal is to get the employer's attention by being unique in what you are offering them through your skills/knowledge/abilities, so make sure they read between the lines on how important these things are, especially if listing more than one responsibility per position worked on.
- Most importantly, use relevant keywords throughout your entire resume (this includes cover letter). So many people just list their responsibilities and duties as they work but fail to remember that employers will be scanning for important terms so it's crucial to sprinkle them throughout.
- Make sure you use action verbs in your resume, especially when describing what you did at each job worked on! This proves exactly the point we are trying to make, don't just say "responsible for" or "had a duty of." Say things like "launched," "created," etc. Employers want people who can get projects done efficiently, and these types of words show how well you fit into this category!
By incorporating the four tips and tricks listed above, you will be able to create a resume that is unique, relevant, powerful, and effective. No more of those run-of-the-mill resumes that employers have seen before!
