We don't just help you get hired in Hammond. Our job agency also offers comprehensive career support, training, and resources. We make it easy for you to thrive long-term. 

For a lot of people, resumes can be stressful because you don't know what to include. You may be tempted to put in all the bells and whistles, from flashy formatting to pages of detailed job experience. In fact, that might work against you. Instead, simple is often best. Your resume should clearly demonstrate you're a good fit for the job. Here's how. 

3 Tips For Making Your Resume Showcase Your Potential 

If your resume isn't getting much traction, it's likely because it doesn't showcase your potential. Plenty of job-seekers in Hammond include too many details, or the wrong kind of information. Here are a few tips from our job agency for transforming your resume: 

• Create a polished, professional document.  Don't overdo it on unusual fonts or complicated formatting. Instead, stick to standard fonts and simple, clean formatting wherever you can. Focus on weeding out any typos or grammatical and spelling mistakes. You want your resume to stand out for the right reasons. 
• Make it easy to review at a glance.  Statistics tell us most hiring managers spend less than ten seconds looking at each resume. It means your resume should be easy to skim. Use bullet points and clear language to convey your work experience and achievements. Simple, readable sentences are always your best bet. 
• Don't include everything.  It's a good rule of thumb to keep resumes to one to two pages at most. You don't want to list every job you've had, just the most relevant work experience. That will involve customizing your resume based on the positions you're applying to, but it's worth taking the extra time to get it right.
