What makes a Good Resume?
- Makes a Good First Impression: Imagine yourself being a recruiter and you have tons of resumes to go through, which would you give more time to- a poorly formatted bunch of text or a resume that is crisp, clear and has an impeccable design?
If you want to get the attention of your recruiter, everything counts- the design, layout and every other thing on the resume.
- Highly Relevant: A great is not generic but tailored to fit the specific job in question. This helps to cut out irrelevancies.
- Focuses on Accomplishment: Instead of talking about the things you did in your previous jobs, why not talk about how well you did them. Don’t just repeat duties, talk about excellence.
- Keywords are Incorporated: Either the resume will be scanned electronically or not, ensure you resume is heavy on keywords. Never underestimate the importance of keywords. Pay attention to the keywords used in the job ads and incorporate them into your resume.
What Makes a Good Cover Letter?
There are many things that make up a good cover, let’s take a look at some of them.
- Personalization: Some applicants send a generic cover letter and that counts against them. Writing a personalized letter shows you are serious about working for that company and you have done some research. It will stir the interest of the recruiter.
- Highlight your strengths: Even if you have got the best skills in the world, your potential employer doesn’t know. So, do well to sell yourself well. Talk about previous challenges and how you overcame.
- Talk about what makes you stand out: It is as straightforward as that. Give your potential employer a thousand and one reasons why you are the best for that position. Brag a little. Talk about your talents, skills, experiences and accomplishments that may be relevant to the position you are applying for.
