Introduction

The first step towards securing your next job is to put together a professional resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. With hundreds of applicants arriving for every job posting, you need to find a way to create a resume shine. In this post we’ll look at the reasons it’s crucial that your resume stands in a sea of other resumes.

Important to have a striking Resume

Your resume must reflect your worth when you are an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impression on the recruiter or hiring manager who is reading it, you may not even get called for an interview. Here are a few reasons your resume needs to stand out:

1. Professional Image

A well-crafted resume establishes credibility as well as professionalism prior to meeting with your prospective employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

There is never a second chance to make an initial impression. Your top quality and meticulously crafted document will create the impression of a brand that will be beneficial to you later.

3. Helps Employers Recall You

The unique and compelling CV can assist recruiters in identifying the most important points they will remember about you when working through submissions – standing out from others candidates who submit their CV in Microsoft Word format.

How can you make your resume Be Different?

Now that we’ve seen the reasons why having a great resume is essential, let’s talk about ways that one can revamp their CV:

1. Tailor Your Resume to The Job

Hiring Managers are provided with a variety of paperwork; make sure you tailor it precisely to the requirements of their hiring managers so they don’t have to think about which one best suits their company style, culture and so on.

2. Highlight Your Proudest Achievements

Do not simply record your duties; highlight your achievements over tasks when possible. Make use of statistics and figures to show your impact in previous positions.

3. Choose A Professional Design

While selecting an professional style may sound like a simple decision for some frequently submit resumes in different designs or colors made using Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

I used Fremantle Resume for a government role submission, which included a selection criteria response. I was very impressed and it landed me the job that i wanted. Thank you again.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Fremantle Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
