1 Why storytelling matters

Storytelling is the art of using narratives, anecdotes, and examples to illustrate your points and connect with your audience. Storytelling can help you make your resume more engaging, memorable, and persuasive. It can also help you highlight your soft skills, such as communication, leadership, and problem-solving, that are often hard to quantify. Storytelling can show your potential employer how you have handled challenges, achieved results, and contributed to your previous organizations.

Why is the resume called a bio-note Or biopic of life or considered as biodata? A simple fact is to state that when or from what point one's chronological chronicles of building life's journey started and where it's finally leading or stepping to the next frame to add in life.

2 How to use storytelling in your resume

To use storytelling in your resume, you need to identify the stories that showcase your value and relevance to the job you are applying for. You can use the STAR method to structure your stories: Situation, Task, Action, and Result. The Situation and Task describe the context and the problem you faced, the Action describes what you did to solve it, and the Result describes the outcome and the impact of your action. You can use these stories in different sections of your resume, such as the summary, the work experience, and the achievements.

Most of us in our resume focus on location and then on performance with a point of rooting the fact that the aim of education is achieved with certain other add-ons. While in actual sense the same can be put forth with the imaging of your Self what actually inspired or provoked oneself to take up that qualifications to resolve what actually conditioned one's idea of growth in the prevailing circumstances.

3 How to balance storytelling with formatting

Formatting is a key factor in creating a readable, clear, and professional resume. To achieve this, you should use bullet points to break down your stories, headings and subheadings to organize your content, and fonts, colors, and styles that are consistent and professional. Additionally, use numbers, percentages, and metrics to quantify your results and make your stories more concrete. By balancing storytelling with formatting, you can ensure that your resume is easy to scan, follow, and understand.

Using indicators to signify or highlighters in Resume no doubt focus the readers' attention. But sometimes such a kind of format is a technical pattern to follow rubrics of assessment of a profile. And each section is well in scrutiny due to some expression of newness.

4 How to balance storytelling with keywords

Keywords are essential for passing applicant tracking systems (ATS) and ranking among other candidates. To ensure your resume is optimized for both humans and machines, you need to balance storytelling with keywords. Research the relevant keywords for your industry, role, and target company. Incorporate them naturally and strategically into your stories, without overusing or stuffing them. Additionally, use keywords that are specific, relevant, and accurate to your skills, experience, and achievements. Job descriptions, company websites, and industry publications can be used as sources.

5 How to balance storytelling with relevance

Relevance is the extent to which your resume matches the needs and expectations of your potential employer. To ensure your resume is focused, customized, and targeted, it's important to balance storytelling with relevance. To do this, analyze the job description and identify the main skills, responsibilities, and goals that the employer is looking for. Then select stories that demonstrate your value and fit for the job, prioritizing them according to their importance and impact. Additionally, make sure to align your stories with the employer's mission, vision, and values, demonstrating how you can contribute to their success.

There are two types of employers - so the resume is perceived or evaluated per se these two types of employers. One condition is when the employer has vision, but your vision can be in contradiction to the employer's needs. Another condition is there is an employer whose vision may be restricted due to his own conditional constraints, but such an employer could be or may be more adaptive to another's vision mentioned in Resume, as he knows another extension or frontier can be added after a certain time with use of an employee's profile and its vision. The Resume should be well constructed indeed for the employer's visionary goals, but mentioning one's storyline in a Resume is also necessary to keep one's focus too to add value for all.
