SECURE YOUR JOB

Resume Tips for Pro's

Your resume is an important part of your career, but it is also an investment that can take years to pay off. The right resume can help you land the job you've always dreamed of, while the wrong one can make it difficult for you to find work at all. It's important to get it right from the start so that you don't waste precious time applying for jobs only to be turned down because of poor quality on your resume! Here are some of the tips you need to know to create a professional job-ready resume.

Tip #1: Make sure your resume is easy to read. The first thing that catches an employer's eye is the font size and formatting. If you're using a script font or very small size font, it's going to look choppy and hard to read—while if you're using a readable sans-serif, it will look much more professional.

Tip #2: Don't be afraid to use colour. You don't need to be afraid of bold colours in your resume—as long as they stay on the same line and don't disrupt the flow of your content, they can really help make your resume stand out from others'. You should also avoid using too many colours at once; instead try using one or two per section (e.g., if you have a section called "skills," use different colours in that section). This helps make it easier for employers to skim through your information without having to read every single word!"

Tip #3: Use headers and subheaders when appropriate. Keep it simple—use 1-2 sentences per header or subheader, then list all relevant information under that heading or section of your resume.

Tip #4: Avoid passive voice when possible Passive voice tends to become boring while reading and doesn’t sound livelier. It also takes away the credit for performing the actions contained in those sentences, if possible, write sentences using active voice instead

Tip #5: Don't forget about your cover letter! A great cover letter can be just as important as an effective resume for getting an interview—especially if you're applying for a job that requires more than just a resume alone (like technical writing).

Tip #6: Use Reverse Chronological Order List your work experience in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent position first. If you've been working for years and want to include old positions, you can do that too, but make sure it's not distracting from other parts of your resume.

Tip #7: Identify gaps in your resume Be sure to list all relevant education experiences first, followed by any volunteer activities or community involvement. This will give readers a sense of how well rounded you are and where you might have gaps in your experience before moving on to the next section.

Tip #8: Use bulleted lists when possible They're an easy way to organise long sections of information that would otherwise be difficult for readers to digest all at once!

Tip #9: Do your research When you're creating your resume, you want to be sure that you're representing yourself in a way that shows leadership and talent. If you've been out of work for a while, it's important to make sure that your skills are still relevant and that your experience is still noteworthy.

Tip #10: Be honest If there's something on your resume that makes you look bad, don't lie about it—it will come back around on you in ways that may not be so pleasant!

Tip #11: Use numbers Use numbers (e.g., "20 hours per week") instead of words (e.g., "hourly"). This will help make your resume more attention-grabbing and readable by potential employers and recruiters

Tip #12: Make it Readable When listing accomplishments, try to focus on the accomplishments that relate directly to the job for which you're applying. For example, if you are applying for a marketing internship at a company that sells furniture, don't include information about your volunteer work with non-profit organisations in your resume unless it relates directly to the job.

Tip #13: Formatting matters You may need a professional stand-out format, but if that's not your style, find out which one works best for your industry and industry standards so you can stick with it as much as possible during the application process

Tip #14: Proofread Double check everything before hitting send! If something looks off, fix it right away before sending it out for further review.
