Introduction

The first step towards securing the perfect job is to put together a stunning resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. There are hundreds of resumes coming in for each job advertisement, you have be able to enhance your resume shine. In this article we’ll discuss the reasons why it’s essential that your resume stand in a sea of other resumes.

It is important to have an attractive Resume

Your resume must reflect the value you bring when you are an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impression on the hiring manager or recruiter who is reading it, you might not even be called to an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume should be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume demonstrates credibility as well as professionalism before you ever meet with an prospective employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

You will never get another chance to make a first impression. Your top quality and meticulously constructed document will build the impression of a brand that will be beneficial to you later.

3. Helps Employers Remember You

The unique and compelling CV can help recruiters identify specific points that they’ll remember regarding you when they go through submissions – standing out from others candidates who submit their CV in Microsoft Word format.

How can you make your resume Stand Out?

Now that we’ve identified why having a stellar resume is critical let us examine ways in which one can update their CV:

1. Customize Your Resume for The Job

Hiring Managers get a ton of paperwork; make sure you tailor it precisely to fit the criteria they’re seeking so they don’t have to think about what best fits their company culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Proudest Achievements

Do not just record the duties you have to perform. Highlight your accomplishments instead of the duties when it is possible. Use figures and statistics to illustrate your impact in the previous positions you held.

3. Choose a professional design

Although choosing an professional style may sound like a no-brainer for many typically will send resumes with different designs or colors designed using Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

From the moment I called to get some information on the process involved, I was taken by how efficient and professional Tanja was with assisting me. Tanja was patient and prompt with her replying to me with my queries, she was more than happy to make many changes for me with no fuss at all.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Melbourne Resume.
