1 Know your target audience

The first step to selecting the best skills and experiences for your resume is to research the job and the employer you are applying to. What are their main goals, challenges, and expectations? What skills, qualifications, and achievements are they looking for in their ideal candidate? How do they describe their company culture and values? You can find this information by reading the job description, visiting their website, browsing their social media, and talking to current or former employees. This will help you understand what your target audience wants and needs from you.

Try to identify what it takes to be successful in the job at a specific employer. Write the summary section and accomplishment statements targeting the key competencies the employer needs now and in the future. Take credit for your most relevant accomplishments and give enough details to prove your credibility.

Quando aprendemos a primeira vez sobre como fazer um currículo, vemos como algo estático. Mas vamos lá, a vida n?o é estática, o trabalho n?o é estático, porque o CV tem que ser? Mudar algumas palavras no currículo já te ajudam a ter um destaque diferente para atrair um recruiter ou uma empresa. O primeiro passo quando vai se candidatar a uma vaga é bem simples: estude o possível empregador. Entenda a empresa, o que é importante para esse lugar, quais os valores, qual a cultura? Como esse lugar se conecta comigo e a partir desse ponto, inicie seu currículo para essa oportunidade, e ai vem as adapta??es no seu currículo base, colocando experiências mais relevantes, apresentando resultados mais compatíveis com os objetivos da empresa.

2 Match your skills and experiences to the job requirements

The next step is to review your own skills and experiences and identify the ones that are most relevant and valuable for the job. You can use a skills matrix or a Venn diagram to compare your skills and experiences with the job requirements and see where they overlap. You can also use keywords and phrases from the job description to highlight your skills and experiences in your resume. For example, if the job requires strong communication skills, you can mention specific examples of how you used communication skills in your previous roles, such as presenting, negotiating, or writing reports.

Use the top half of the first page to summarize your experience, metrics, impact, or accomplishments related to the key skills the employer is looking for for the particular role you are applying to. Make it easy for them to see your broad fit with the role. In the next “professional experience” section detailing jobs and volunteer roles, give more specific examples that relate to the summary bullets in the top section.

3 Prioritize your skills and experiences based on impact and relevance

The third step is to prioritize your skills and experiences based on their impact and relevance for the job. You want to focus on the ones that demonstrate your value, achievements, and potential for the employer. You can use the CAR (Challenge-Action-Result) or STAR (Situation-Task-Action-Result) method to describe your skills and experiences in a clear and concise way. For example, instead of saying "Managed a team of 10 people", you can say "Managed a team of 10 people, increased productivity by 25%, and reduced turnover by 15%". This shows how you solved a problem, took action, and delivered a positive outcome.

For each role, absolutely move the bullets up or down in priority to match what the job description priority is. Again, make it easy for HR or the hiring manager to see your fit with the role.

4 Format your skills and experiences for readability and clarity

The final step is to format your skills and experiences for readability and clarity. You want to make sure your resume is easy to scan, understand, and remember. You can use bullet points, headings, subheadings, and white space to organize your skills and experiences into sections and categories. You can also use fonts, colors, and icons to highlight your skills and experiences and make them stand out. For example, you can use a bold font for your key skills, a blue color for your achievements, and a star icon for your awards.

By following these steps, you can select the best skills and experiences to highlight on your customized resume and impress your potential employer. Remember to tailor your resume to each job and employer and showcase your skills and experiences in a way that demonstrates your value, achievements, and potential.

An easy template for bullets: active verb + skill followed by relevant experience, metrics, impact, and/or achievements. Keep them to one skill per bullet and 1-2 lines long.
