The job market is more competitive than ever. How will you make sure YOUR résumé stands out and gets attention?
Essential Tips to Create a Standout, Results-Generating Résumé

Your focus and emphasis should be on creating content that is employer-centered and focused on how you have the unique and superior ability to meet their needs and solve their problems.

yourself “so what?” in
terms of your achievement.
What did you improve, save, increase, enhance, etc? What impact did the work you do have on the
companies?
Challenge…Action…Result…

Illustrate passion. Don’t be afraid to show yourself!
Let your personality and your authentic personal brand shine through, and illustrate your passion for your job.
Résumé Writing Tip #4:
Rip your résumé in half.
Résumé
Go ahead. Do it. Print a copy of your résumé and then take the first page and rip it in half. Now throw away the bottom half and concentrate on the top half. This is the most important section of your résumé. This top half of your résumé must be absolutely compelling. It must seize the reader’s attention and draw them in with content that leaves absolutely no doubt that you are the perfect candidate to fulfill their needs and solve their problems.
