Loot your Dream Job by this Five Unique Strategies!
Hello My Beloved Viewers
In this Article, I want you to aware about this Five Unique Strategies to Loot your Dream Job!
Most people who have a job or are on the market for a job also have a
resume. In this area of digitalisation you could argue that it’s becoming
increasingly normal to apply to a job only using LinkedIn, Twitter or even
Facebook. However, many companies, especially larger multinational companies
still have their own ATS (Applicant Tracking System), such as Oracle’s Taleo,
which require you to actually upload a resume.
Having a great resume is
actually easy. There are only a few rules to follow and you will ensure your
resume stands out. As an experienced guy in resume writing, I used to surf dozens of resumes every week. Sometimes you can get hundreds of templates for a single role and yes, having an
easy to read resume WILL impact your chances of moving forward.
Follow these steps to ensure
your resume stands out:
1. Maximum 2 pages. Many applicants’ long resumes that are not
needed. Even if you have many different roles and/or worked for a number of
different companies, you can still summarise it all in 2 pages. When listing
your responsibilities make sure you just include the summary of what you were
doing, not the whole job description you had.
2. Simple and clear format. Don’t overcomplicate it. Chose a simple,
clear and structured format so that it is easy to read through. Share the
chosen format with a friend and ask for their opinion — Can they easily read
through it? Once finished, save it as PDF before submitting. Other formats may
be distorted when uploaded in certain ATS’s.
3. Include the start and end date for each role
you had. Always include
a start and an end date for each job listing. If you have internships then
include the complete date — DD/MM/YYYY, if it’s a regular job MM/YYYY will
suffice. Not including this information may seem like you are hiding
information, for example recruiters might think you’ve spent little time in the
role.
4. Make your resume stand out for the role you
are applying it. Let’s say you
are applying for a “hunter” sales role. Make sure when describing your
responsibilities in your current/previous role that you point out you were a
“hunter”, did cold calling, etc. [if you actually have that experience. That is
;)]
5. Bonus points: Adding the
sector/industry of each company you’ve worked for. If the company you
are applying to is searching for candidates with experience in certain
industries, adding this information will make your resume stand out.
