- Bold the important parts. Don’t go overboard here.
- Use numbers and awards to draw attention.
- Remove irrelevant experiences.
Use numbers
Ever heard of the term “A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words”? Well, numbers are worth a thousand words on Resumes.
Here are some ways you can use numbers:
- Consistently outperformed sales targets by 10%
- Supported over 4 functional areas with financial analysis
- Increased customer satisfaction rating to 8.6/10
Match keywords
Hiring managers will scan your resume to see if you match any of those keywords and sometimes in higher-demand positions, they will do this through a bot.
Take and add keywords from the job description to your resume. Create a skill section and put some keywords in there.
