Important Resume Trends You should be thinking about
By Emily Fossey, Logisolve Director of Recruiting
Writing your resume can be intimidating. After all, it is this single piece of document that is the deciding factors whether you will be selected to interview. Your resume serves as a powerful marketing tool in the eyes of hiring managers. Understanding your resume’s role in the hiring process is the first step to creating a job-winning resume that can get you notice in a globally competitive market. Here are 5 things to do to help get your resume on the fast-track to the “yes” pile.
#1: Add a specific branding statement-not a general job title
A branding statement on your resume is a tagline into who you are beyond just your job title. Think of it like the perfect title to your very own career novel. For example, instead of just listing yourself as a “Business Development Manager” (vague and boring) include a line beneath that hinge on your strongest areas of concentration such as “Transformational Leadership, Dynamic Operations, & Relationship Management.”
#2. A Professional Summary Not an Objective
Objectives are old news in today’s resumes. Your objective is to find a job, but your professional summary should resonate and intrigue the reviewer to want to continue reading on and continue learning more, not move on to the next resume.
#3. Industry-Specific Keywords + Soft Skills
To understand which keywords are the best to use, look to the job description and highlight the words that pop out to you. If the job description is vague or generic, review multiple job postings for the type of job you are applying to. You will begin to see a common theme of words most often used.
#4. More Results Not Just Responsibilities
Your resume should not be a boring synopsis of your work history, what differentiates candidates, is providing key results that support why you should be selected for the interview. But remember, be specific about results. Do not just write things such as “Drove revenue growth.” Instead, include measurable amounts that show just how much revenue.
#5 Keep your resume short and on point.
Make sure your resume is short, easy to read, and on point. Focus your job application on the position and the industry you are applying for. Key tip, learn how to analyze job postings and tailor your resume to highlight your applicable skills. Having a resume one to two pages long is also a plus. To do this, read the job posting carefully and take note of the qualifications and skills required.
Keep in mind that getting your resume into the “Yes” pile is just one step in the job search process. Make sure you are staying abreast on networking skills, interview tips
and adequately market yourself through your LinkedIn.
