This will be a weekly newsletter where I will be sharing tips on Resume/LinkedIn/Data Analytics/Data Science domains. Follow this space for more on these topics
For my first one I thought why not start off with top resume tips to get you hired as the current job market is booming and there are lot of jobs available in the market
So lets get started and dive into them ??????????????????
1. 1 Page Resume
1 Page Resume is more likely to be picked by the ATS (Applicant Tracking System) compared to 2 page resume if your experience is less than 10 years. Fun fact as per statistics recruiters usually take 6 to 10 seconds to skim through the resume and decide if they are going to move on to the next round or not. So keeping it to 1 page makes it easier to read and is also ATS compliant increasing the probability for it to be picked.
2. STAR Format
I am sure many of you came across this while preparing for behavioral interviews but what if I told you your resume can stand out if you use this technique while building statements in your experience section. Let me break this down for you
3. Metrics
With this we come to the third important aspect which is metrics. Showing impact through metrics leverages the true impact that was brought by you. Metrics can be in the form of percentages, numbers, profits, revenue, sales, team size. This clearly shows the breadth and width of your work and true impact of your work. So don't miss out on tiniest details. Also, don't overdo it.
4. Key Words
Key words help in optimizing your resume and resume being picked up by ATS. Include important key words from Job description relevant to your skillset in your experience. projects and skills section.
5. Relevant list of Technical/Soft Skills
Create a separate section to highlight relevant list of technical skills & certifications and group them under different buckets. This helps recruiters to clearly get an understanding of different tools/technology the applicant has an experience in. It also helps with the keywords optimization. So works both ways. Also, don't forget to mention your soft skills in experience section wherever possible. For example - fast-paced, collaborated, detail-oriented etc.
