Would you like some resume tips and tricks to get your resume noticed by an employer? Who wouldn't want their resume to be seen by major decision makers? There are ways to get more attention to your document without a great deal of additional effort if you can employ some of the tricks listed here.
Let's look at some different tricks to convert your resume into an attention grabber.
The first thing you can do is to turn your job objective into a laser targeted statement specific to the posting of interest.
You accomplish this by reading the posting carefully and select keywords that are unique to the industry in general and to the listing in particular.
Sprinkle a few of these into your job objective and you have converted your resume into a unique page that is designed for this company.
It will sure grab the attention of the human resources person assigned to assess the whole pack of mail in response to this job.
They are trained to look for keywords in a document to whittle down the number of applicants selected for a personal interview.
Another simple trick is to use action verbs to describe your work experience.
Don't just list your duties, but describe how they were accomplished.
This shows that you are a person of action, not content to just sit around.
Such words as founded, delegated, coordinated or assigned indicate that you were responsible and took charge of a situation.
This is looked upon favorably by most employers.
Finally, make sure that you include any military experience that you completed.
Many companies look favorably upon veterans and give special consideration to them.
Why not use any advantage that you have? Now go fix up that resume.
Good luck! Until next time, Brian C
