A guide to a professional resume

Many persons are competing for the same job. If you want a job you must be noticed by the recruiter, in a sea of resumes. That’s why you need professional resume writing services. Here are some tips for a more professional resume for people who want to self educate about the basics. When formatting your resume, use a basic font that is easy to read, both for hiring managers and for applicant management systems. Google also favors the simple over the complex. Many fonts make your resume clear and easy to read while retaining your individual style.

Make sure your resume is error-free. I know that sounds like a no-brainer, but you might be surprised at the number of resumes that I review for clients who have a spacing issue, a punctuation error, or even a misspelling. The problem is that you have looked at your resume so many times, your brain knows what it is supposed to say, but in reality, it says something else. Get several people to proofread your resume, and have them read it for different purposes. One person should read for grammar, for example, and another should read for punctuation and spelling. You cannot afford to send a resume that has any error at all in it. I have heard former HR directors admit that they scan resumes for errors because they are looking for ways to eliminate potential candidates. Any superficial error will eliminate your chances of getting a call for that job.

Keep it positive. Reason for leaving a job, setbacks, failed initiatives, etc. do not have a place on a resume. Employers are seeking people who can contribute, have a positive attitude, are enthusiastic, and have successfully performed similar job skills in the past. Concentrate on communicating these issues and avoid any detracting information.

The job market is over-saturated and highly competitive. With 250+ candidates applying for the same job and 94% of recruiters sourcing candidates on LinkedIn, you must stand out and get noticed faster in the digital age. That’s why turning to a Certified Professional Resume Writer is the best decision for your career. It can mean the difference between getting an average job versus getting the job you want, and deserve! Qualified (highly certified) resume writers are trained to see things in a resume that laypersons do not see. Read more details at https://www.reveredresumes.com/.
