Here's how you can integrate feedback from a resume writing service into your resume.

To integrate feedback from a resume writing service, start by thoroughly reviewing the suggestions and understanding the reasons behind each one. Revise your resume section by considering changes to layout, phrasing, or content as suggested. Tailor your resume to match the job description, but also read between the lines for additional insights. Keep in mind that the goal is to make your resume as effective as possible by incorporating the feedback provided.

Feedbacks bring in room for improvement. I always say do tailor make your resume as per JD, but you need to read between the lines as well. Understand why the role opened up at the first place. Analyse the pain area and then provide a solution through your resume as to how you can tackle the problem they have in hand. Any feedback that you get on your resume, its important to know who is giving that feedback. It should come from the right person. Then only it will make sense and you can implement the same.

Start by thoroughly reviewing the feedback provided by the resume writing service. Pay attention to any suggestions for improvement regarding format, content, wording, or overall presentation.

CV's need to tell your story, and quickly. The last thing HR wants to do is have to scan your CV carefully to have a good understanding of your area of expertise. Prioritise a bio which summarises your functional skillset, industry alignment and your most proud achievement. Next up create a career highlights section and include 3 further achievements - if you have an MBA or a Msc from a reputable University, also reference this in the bio. The top half of the first page should scream from the rooftops about why you're excellent at what you do. Next up, focus on your work exp (3-4 bullets per role) using the STAR (Situation, task, action, result) method.

Based on the feedback, update the content of your resume accordingly. Make revisions to sections such as the summary, work experience, skills, and education to better align with the suggestions provided.

Consider any formatting suggestions provided by the resume writing service, such as font choices, spacing, alignment, and overall visual appeal. A well-formatted resume is easier to read and makes a better impression on recruiters.

After making changes, review your resume for errors and consistency. A clean, error-free resume shows that you are detail-oriented and professional.

Get not one but two sets of eyes to look over the revisions with a fine tooth-comb. Ensure the CV is written in present first person, the copy is succinct / sharp and grammatically sound. I often come across incorrect use of commas (particularly when used in a list) and American spelling. (Analyzed etc) - language is also paramount, it should be bold and punchy, not modest, it’s a sales document!

Prioritisation of relevant experience – GCSE’s and your supermarket experience whilst at University can be removed. Your most recent role should provide the most exploration and with each additional role, there should be less content (bullet points). This will keep your CV relevant and place the emphasis on your current experience as opposed to a role you worked in 5+ years ago

Keep your resume up to date with relevant information, skills, and experiences as your career progresses. Regularly review and revise your resume to ensure that it remains current and tailored to your career goals.

Once you have approved the final draft of your resume, stop asking for opinions. Everyone will have one and some will be contradictory. The resume is a tool to get the interview. If you are always editing it, you are not using it. If you don't use it, you won't get the interview. The rule is simple: If you are getting interviews, your resume is doing it's job. Now is the time to focus on your interviewing skills.

Absolutely include a hobbies and interests section. This presents a chance to demonstrate ambition, transferable skills and personality. People hire people, not robots! A CV is a very formal document and this presents an opportunity to sprinkle on some much needed personality Here’s an example: Frequently play tennis at my local club, was fortunate enough to attend the 2022 Wimbledon final and hoping to one day attend the beautiful Monte Carlo ATP!

Finally, customize your resume for each job application by highlighting the most relevant qualifications and experiences. Tailoring your resume to the specific requirements of each role increases your chances of success.
