How To
Write A
Standout
Résumé That
Gets Results
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
Résumé Writing Tip #1:
It isn’t about you, it is
about the employer!
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.
Résumé
Writing Tip #2:
Employers don’t care about what you know how to do. They
care about what you DO with what you know how to do.
Continually ask 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…
Incorporate the CAR technique.
Résumé
Writing Tip #3:
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.
Prove Value!
Prove Impact!
