Topic: Free Resume Advice from an Experienced Professional (Read 70 times)

Even with the best resume reviewers, one needa to remember about the actual job position and the company that you are applying for.

You really have to adjust your resume or cv whenever you apply for specific positions.

One generic resume for all the jobs or positions that you are applying for might work but what I am saying here is that, it is still going to depend to the company you have applied for so, mostly sell yourself out in the best that you can because every recruiter is different.

This is true we were taught to adjust our resume depending on what is needed and if there are any information we feel as though it would not be really useful or appropriate for what we are applying for then we could just remove it

Resumes are supposed to be straightforward so get to the point and show the employer that you already are what they are looking for

tailoring to the job is priority

many resumes are not read by humans (unless small business)
HR departments use software that reads a resume and looks for keywords and then scores those resumes by what keywords they include that meet their requirements. meaning they create a short list of applicants that closely fit the business needs on a rating system of keyword use

work out those keywords by seeing what the job criteria/description/requirements is.. and include those words specifically.
dont use synonyms or adjectives that elaborate to mean the same. actually use their words.

EG
if they ask for a team leader
dont write "i oversaw projects that required many employees to work together"
even saying "lead a team" can lower your score

write "i was a team leader for many projects"

Attaching portfolios is tricky with resumes since every case is different and that's someone's info, even if the data is anonymized it's still someone else's private data.

If you have experience creating more than 500 resumes, wouldn't it be better for you to attach your portfolio here?

I see the advice you gave in this thread seems very general and I think everyone does that for their resume. Yes, I know looking for a job is something that is challenging, but having your own business is much more challenging than that.

I don't need a resume at this time, but if I ever do, I will consider consulting you
