a. Make a new version of your resume for each job
- Make sure your objective is related to this job
- Find the hiring manager’s job description, and sprinkle their keywords and phrasing into your resume. NOTE: This does not mean plagiarizing or copying what they’ve written – simply strategically employing important keywords to capture their attention.
- Draft your resume so that the skills and abilities they are calling for are towards the top of your resume, where they’ll instantly be seen.
b. Explain yourself
- Instead of telling the hiring manager that you’re “passionate,” give them an example of a project that you spearheaded to increase company profits — that kind of information relays your passion much more clearly.
- Instead of telling the hiring manager that you’re “driven,” give an example of how you went above and beyond the call of duty complete a project or support another teammate.
c. Quantify your resume
- If you helped increase company sales, write by how much.
- If you managed employees or trained new employees, write down how many.
- If you saved the company money, write down how you did it, and how much you saved.
- Did you manage a budget? Write down how big it was.
d. Put your name in the file name!
