Resumé truths
It’s important we highlight important
truths you want to make sure you
emphasize in your resumé to get the
job of your dreams.
Everyone has email and chances are
you more than likely have two or three.
When applying for a job you want
everything to be spot on and leave no
room for recruiters to assume things
about you. That being said, create a
professional sounding email for you
to send links, resumés and contact
information. A good rule of thumb
for a professional-sounding email is
your first and last name followed by a
number of some sort.
Do not add a headshot to your
resumé. There was an odd trend for
job seekers to include a headshot
in their resumé, but that trend has
since faded. Some recruiters even
automatically reject resumés with
headshots attached to them.
You want to carefully think about the
sections you want to include in your
email. Career summary, statements,
accomplishments, volunteer work and
hobbies are all things people add to
their resumés but some of those things
are just not as important as others.
You want your resumé to be clean
and to the point; it doesn’t matter how
many pages your resumé is, but you
want to make sure every word and
sentence will help you get the job.
As we said above, you want your
resumé to be as clean and neat as it
can be. Some fonts can help you do
that better than others. Surprisingly,
fonts are very important to recruiters
because it can mean the difference
between whether they take the time to
look at it or not. Recruiters probably
look at hundreds of resumés a week
and most of them want it to be clean
and skimmable. Use a straight-forward
font that is easy to read such as a
Cambria, Tahoma or Helvetica.
What you may not know is today,
recruiters filter through the bad
resumés using applicant tracking
systems.
These systems scan keywords and
phrases in your resumé that recruiters
want to see. So even if you are highly
qualified for a position, failing to
understand how applicant tracking
systems work can cause you to lose
an opportunity.
Keywords used by ATS filters are
key to sorting through the clutter.
Think about the job description and
the words associated with that job.
Use those keywords in your skills
summary and other parts of your
resumé to appeal to that job. You
may have to do this over and over
again depending on the job you are
applying for. Not all companies use the
same ATS and there are hundreds of
different versions.
Tables and columns are usually a
great way to organize large portions of
information, but they are not the right
things to use in your resumé. Although
formatting isn’t everything in a resumé,
you still want your resumé to be
consistent and clean.
