10 ways to make your resume stand out
When a house has been on the market for an extended time without an offer or even a showing, homeowners often get help staging their property and even make over important rooms, like kitchens and bathrooms. When it comes to your job search, perhaps you should use this approach with your resume.
With electronic job applications and ATS systems being the norm, it’s difficult to really make a statement because hiring managers are often viewing stripped down versions of your resume. All that time you spent formatting your resume might not even matter depending how a certain employer receives and processes job applications.
And even if your expertly formatted resume reaches the intended hands, it’s even tougher now to stand out from the competition when there are more and more job seekers vying for fewer jobs. You really need to do all you can to differentiate yourself.
If you’ve been using the same basic resume for your entire job search and are getting ho-hum results, it might be time to do a gut rehab — deconstruct your resume and rebuild it. Watch this video from CareerBuilderTV to learn 10 ways to get employers to notice your resume:
