1 Know your audience

Before you start editing your resume, you need to research the industry, the company, and the role you're applying for. Find out what skills, experiences, and achievements are relevant and valued in that field. Look at job descriptions, company websites, industry news, and professional networks for clues. Use the language and terminology that matches the industry and the position.

Si empiezas enviándole tu CV a reclutadores sin haber investigado el sector, las empresas y lo que busca el mercado laboral corres el riesgo de que no te respondan... Y es que las empresas usan filtros que escanean los CV′s recibidos, organizan a los que se ajusten al puesto y descartan a los que no (sin que lo lea un humano). Y si realmente no me aseguro de mencionar las habilidades, conocimientos, estudios, experiencia o keywords que buscan para las posiciones que me interesan, probablemente me descarten. Que no te ocurra :)

2 Highlight your transferable skills

If you're switching industries or roles, you might not have all the specific skills or qualifications that the job requires. However, you can still showcase your transferable skills, which are skills that can be applied to different situations and contexts. For example, communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and leadership are transferable skills that many employers look for. Demonstrate how you used these skills in your previous roles and how they can benefit the new industry or role.

A veces creemos que cuando vemos en la vacante que se busca a una persona enfocada en resultados, comunicativa, que sepa trabajar en equipo... es porque lo ponen de adorno. Y no es así. Te explico: Una persona puede tener todas las habilidades técnicas necesarias (conocer la plataforma, procesos, el sector, tener los estudios, etc.), pero eso no la hace capaz de asumir el rol. Imagina a un Gerente de Proyectos que no sepa organizarse, no sepa liderar, negociar o le cueste comunicarse con otras personas. Por muchos conocimientos que tenga, son las habilidades blandas las que hacen la diferencia. Y los reclutadores las van a buscar, así que asegúrate de incluirlas y argumentarlas en la entrevista porque serán clave para que te seleccionen

3 Format your resume for ATS

To make your resume more ATS-friendly, you need to follow some formatting and content guidelines. First, use a simple and clear layout that avoids graphics, tables, columns, or fancy fonts. Second, use keywords and phrases that match the job description and the industry. Third, use standard headings and sections, such as Summary, Work Experience, Education, and Skills. Fourth, avoid spelling or grammatical errors that might confuse the ATS. Fifth, save your resume as a PDF or a Word document, unless the job posting specifies otherwise.

No images, graphics, logos, or pictures. I use Arial 12-point font and solid black bullet points on the deconstructed resume for the ATS and no arrows, checkmarks, square bullets, etc. Don't hide keywords in white text. Avoid charts, shading, tables, lines that cross the page, fancy borders, and section breaks. Check for spelling errors. No headers or footers. Add your company name, City, ST, and tab to add dates, and underneath type the job title before adding the bullet points. Follow the instructions for attaching a Word or readable (not an image) PDF. Mirror the language in the job description as well as keywords. With over 500 ATS systems, they are becoming more sophisticated with technology, but use these tips for best practices.

4 Customize your summary and skills

One of the most important sections of your resume is the summary, which is a brief introduction of who you are and what you can offer. Your summary should be customized for each industry and role you're applying for, highlighting your relevant skills, achievements, and goals. Use keywords and metrics that show your value and impact. Similarly, your skills section should also be tailored to the industry and role, listing the most relevant and in-demand skills that you have. Use both hard skills, such as technical or specialized skills, and soft skills, such as interpersonal or social skills.

Write the summary profile in first-person "implied I." Correct your verbs to reflect the same. In other words, think what makes sense grammatically; I manage, not I manages. Don't start a sentence with "Manages xyz ..." If you cannot place the word "I" in front of the verb without it being grammatically correct, you need to rewrite it. Use ChatGPT to ask it to write a profile summary paragraph for the job description you will enter and then customize it so it matches you with your accomplishments. Start the first sentence with the job title you are applying for instead of using fluffy adjectives like results-oriented accomplished blah blah blah. If you are a seasoned worker, use "extensive expertise" in lieu of 30 years of experience.

5 Quantify your achievements

Another way to edit your resume for different industries and ATS-friendliness is to quantify your achievements. This means using numbers, percentages, or other metrics to show the results and outcomes of your work. Quantifying your achievements can help you stand out from other candidates and show your potential to the employer. For example, instead of saying "increased sales", you can say "increased sales by 25% in six months". Use industry-specific metrics and benchmarks to make your achievements more relevant and impressive.

6 Proofread and review

The final step of editing your resume for different industries and ATS-friendliness is to proofread and review your resume. Check for any spelling, grammar, punctuation, or formatting errors that might lower your credibility or cause the ATS to reject your resume. Use online tools, such as Grammarly or Hemingway, to help you with this process. Also, ask a friend, a colleague, or a professional to give you feedback and suggestions on your resume. Make sure your resume is clear, concise, and consistent throughout.

Incorporate industry-specific terminology and keywords to make your resume more relevant and also help it pass through ATS scans. Be cautious not to overuse jargon to ensure clarity. Add these industry-specific keywords naturally in your professional summary, skills section, and work experience descriptions where relevant.
