Resumes are at the forefront of any job search, especially now with on-line uploading. With so many people applying for the same job, standard resumes are getting lost in a big pile of applicants. If you haven’t had much success in the job market or are in need of a resume makeover, here are three easy steps to make your resume stand out.
1. Target audience
A resume should be tailored to your industry. The experience section of your resume should highlight complimentary jobs to the one you are applying for. If your experience is limited, listing relevant coursework is a great alternative. Relevant coursework should be listed as its own section including what you have accomplished for each class. For example:
Entrepreneurial Marketing
2. Quantify your job description
Providing a description of what you accomplished during the course of your job or internship supply’s the reader with the necessary back ground to determine if you are compatible for the position. The descriptions for each job should include one quantifiable result. For example:
