by Avik Ghosal

If you are applying for a job then your resume is the first impression that your recruiter might have about you. Make sure to write a compelling resume that looks impressive to the employer. This article will provide you with 10 tips to make your resume different from others and will also give you some insights about possible skills that may be beneficial to highlight yourself.

  1. Tailor your resume properly. Try to customise it and make sure to make it relevant to the job you are applying for. Mention your relevant skills and expertise in it. It is likely to increase your visibility. It will make you look like you have taken enough time to understand the job description and need of the company.
  2. Avoid using unnecessary explanations and try to concise it to make it look crisp. No recruiters will go through your whole resume as they have to deal with a lot of applicants in a day. Keep it short and concise to increase your chances of getting selected. It will keep your document streamlined and also make you respect the time of the reader.
  3. Highlight your achievements from your past experiences. If you have contributed to any projects, mention that. If you are a fresher and have no prior experience, don’t worry, Career Corps has your back. Explore different career development programs offered by Career Corps that provide you with 100% job guarantee in a legal document without any terms and conditions. The career development programs are designed in such a way that even if you don’t have any prior experience it will help to gain it.

  4. Learn to use keywords. Read the job description carefully and try to use the industry-associated keywords. This will effectively help you to pass the screening test. Putting the right terminology in your resume will showcase your industry knowledge that enhances your credibility in the company. Introducing the right keyword in your resume can improve your ranking and help you to pass the Application Tracking System (ATS) seamlessly.
  5. Keeping a clear format is important for your resume. This will make your resume look professional and have fewer readability issues. Thus the employer will bear a positive impression about you. A clear format will ensure that reader’s attention falls on the relevant sections of your resume. It will help you to utilise the maximum available space for your resume.
  6. You should prioritise your sections. Make sure to include your contact information first which will allow your recruiter to easily contact you if you get selected. Proper display of contact information will help in a seamless mode of connection between you and your employer. Keep your skills and past work experience in the upper part of your resume. This will allow the recruiter to identify you according to the work profile that they need. 
  7. Proofread thoroughly. Make sure there are no spelling or grammatical errors in your resume as it reflects your sincerity. Check for these mistakes multiple times to make your resume look sharp. This highlights your professionalism and places yourself as a serious candidate in front of the recruiter. Accuracy helps you to maintain consistency throughout your resume and provides clarity.
  8. Try to include a summary in your resume. Mention your career goal and don’t forget to mention why you want to join the company. A well-written resume must have a summary which should be introduced just below your contact information. This will grab the recruiter’s attention first and will provide an overall idea about your background.
  9. Know about the company to which you are applying. This will make the recruiter think that you are genuinely interested in joining the company and this behaviour will please them and increase your chance of getting selected. 
  10. Quantifying is important. Try to quantify your work by using numbers and indices wherever possible. This will make your resume stand out from the crowd.
