You’re looking for a new job. How can you make sure your resume stands out?

1 Tailor your resume

One of the most common mistakes job seekers make is sending the same resume to every job opening. This can make your resume look generic and irrelevant to the specific role and company you’re applying for. Instead, you should tailor your resume to each position, highlighting the skills and accomplishments that match the job requirements and the employer’s values. Use keywords from the job description, emphasize your relevant achievements, and adjust your resume format and length to suit the industry and level of the role.

To standout, a resume should reflect your career stage and the specific audience you are targeting. When you're just starting out a resume should showcase your potential, mid-career should show the breadth of your experience, and late career should show what you believe. This document is not just a list of past jobs and skills; it's a dynamic reflection of your professional development, tailored to showcase how your experiences align with your future goals and the needs of potential employers. It’s crucial to adapt your resume, whether you're targeting a large corporation or a startup, emphasizing not just where you've been but where you're headed.

Provide specific examples of how you have demonstrated these skills in previous roles. Quantify Your Achievements: Whenever possible, use numbers and metrics to quantify your accomplishments.

Adapt your CV to the particular job you're applying for in order to make it stand out." In order to comprehend the essential knowledge and expertise needed, start by carefully reading the job description. Present accomplishments and experiences that are pertinent to those requirements after that. For your resume to get seen by application tracking systems, use keywords from the job description. Use an organised, professional approach and keep your resume brief, concentrating on the most pertinent information. Lastly, make sure there are no mistakes in your CV by thoroughly proofreading it.

Make sure your resume reflects your career arc (growth in responsibilities and scope at each point in your career). Also make sure you edit for brevity and stack rank the bullets in your resume according to the most impactful contributions and accomplishments at the top.

Um dos pontos cruciais para aqueles que possuem portfólio em seus CV, é destacar com um "bot?o" clique aqui ou um QR Code para direcionar para o site do seu portfólio. Isso facilitou o entendimento da minha carreira que nem sempre uma folha A4 consegue mostrar.

2 Use a clear and simple layout

Another way to make your resume stand out is to use a clear and simple layout that makes it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to scan and read. Avoid cluttering your resume with too many fonts, colors, graphics, or unnecessary details. Use a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and a font size of 10 to 12 points. Use consistent formatting, such as bold, italics, and bullet points, to highlight key information. Leave enough white space and margins to make your resume look neat and organized. And make sure your resume is error-free and proofread before sending it.

Make sure your resume is easy to read and navigate by using a clean layout with clear section headings. Use bullet points to organize information and avoid overcrowding the page with unnecessary details.

3 Include a summary statement

A summary statement is a brief introduction that summarizes your main qualifications and value proposition for the job. It should be placed at the top of your resume, below your contact information, and capture the attention of the reader in a few sentences. A summary statement should include your most relevant skills, experience, and achievements, as well as your career goal and what you can offer to the employer. Use specific and quantifiable examples to demonstrate your impact and results. For example, instead of saying “Experienced HR manager”, you could say “HR manager with 10 years of experience in leading talent acquisition, performance management, and employee engagement initiatives, resulting in a 25% increase in retention and a 50% reduction in turnover”.

4 Highlight your accomplishments

One of the best ways to make your resume stand out is to highlight your accomplishments, not just your duties and responsibilities. Accomplishments show what you have done, how you have done it, and what benefits you have brought to your previous or current employers. They also show your potential to add value to your future employer. To highlight your accomplishments, use action verbs, such as “led”, “managed”, “improved”, “created”, or “delivered”. Use numbers, percentages, or metrics to quantify your achievements and show the scope and scale of your impact. For example, instead of saying “Responsible for employee training”, you could say “Designed and delivered employee training programs for over 500 staff members, increasing productivity by 15% and satisfaction by 20%”.

Em vez de listar apenas suas responsabilidades anteriores, destaque suas conquistas concretas, usando números quando possível. Por exemplo, "aumentou as vendas em 20%" é mais impactante do que "responsável por gerenciar vendas".

When highlighting your accomplishments, be sure to include quantifiable data into your resume. This provides a tangible way to showcase your achievements. Whether it's sales figures or project completion times, using numbers helps potential employers understand the scope of your contributions. By adding in these data points, you can also illustrate the impact of your work better. This gives hiring managers a clearer picture of how your efforts directly contributed to the success of previous roles, making you a more attractive candidate. Data also adds credibility to your claims. Instead of making generic claims about being a "high achiever" or having "strong leadership skills," providing specific data can lend you more credibility.

5 Showcase your skills

Another important element of your resume is your skills section, where you list the skills that are relevant to the job and your industry. Skills can be divided into two categories: hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are the technical or specific skills that you need to perform a certain task or function, such as accounting, programming, or data analysis. Soft skills are the interpersonal or transferable skills that you need to work effectively with others, such as communication, teamwork, or problem-solving. To showcase your skills, use keywords from the job description, prioritize the most important and in-demand skills, and provide examples of how you have used them in your previous or current roles.

6 Add a cover letter

A cover letter is a document that accompanies your resume and provides more details about your qualifications and motivation for the job. A cover letter can help you make your resume stand out by showing your personality, enthusiasm, and fit for the role and the company. A cover letter should be tailored to each job, address the specific needs and expectations of the employer, and highlight your most relevant skills and achievements. A cover letter should also have a clear and simple structure, consisting of four main parts: a salutation, an opening paragraph, a body paragraph, and a closing paragraph. A cover letter should be concise, professional, and persuasive, and end with a call to action, such as requesting an interview or following up with the employer.
