Below we have mentioned some tips that will be useful for everyone:
1. Tell them about your strengths and achievements
You don’t need to give paras on your abilities and key achievements. In bullets just mention your latest achievements which makes you the perfect candidate for the job. This will draw the interest of the recruiter and might help you gain an extra edge during the selection process. Make sure you are using the right words to describe yourself so that the recruiter can relate with you and establish the right connection.
2. Focus more on your results rather than duties
Rather than simply listing your previous jobs or roles, make sure you are focusing more on the outcomes. This way your CV stand apart from your competitors. The recruiters are often looking for specific keywords and if you can include them without sounding like a broken record, that’s ideal.
3. Redo your CV based on the Job Profile
The goal is to make your resume stand out against the other applicants, so only include the most relevant information. So, answer straight forward to the expected set of responsibilities and why you are the best person for the job. You can do this by mentioning the achievements that are relevant to the present job you are interviewing for. You don’t need to give pages filled with achievements that are not right for the present job profile. Managers believe that applicants must understand the nature and responsibility of the job before applying, and the more you can show this, the more your CV will stick out.
4. Give special attention to the changes and growth you have achieved
In your CV you need to focus more on your self-improvement. Show how you have developed and changed in your previous jobs, and what achievements have you accomplished during your time there. This will show the hiring managers that you have gleaned some significant knowledge from your past positions and that you are focused on mastering and growing your range of abilities.
5. Show how well you are connected in the industry
Whether it be at college or in past work jobs, you may have met many people who hold the highest acumen in the industry. Make sure that this comes through in your resume. When you show that you are well-connected within the industry, this can be proof of your reference and can be used for creating a positive impact during your selection process.
6. Show industry knowledge
Awareness of the latest trends in your said industry can be a plus point for you during your selection process. Making sure you are using the right keywords will show the hiring manager that you can keep a steady pattern and are aware of the changes that particular industry is undergoing. This will make you more appealing to the bosses who will know through your CV that you are up to date in terms of the latest happenings and industry changes.
7. Strong words
Powerful words act like keywords that will give importance to your achievements and will give your CV an extra boost during the selection process. Some of the suggested words that can be used in your CV are: versatile, imaginative, accomplished, and implemented for your previous jobs. Remember always to show the outcomes not what responsibility you undertook.
