Introduction

The first step towards securing the perfect job is to put together a professional resume that highlights your experience, skills and qualifications. However, with thousands of applications being submitted for each job announcement, you must to find a way to enhance your resume shine. In this article we’ll look at the reasons it’s important to make sure your resume stands out from the rest.

The importance of having an impressive Resume

Your resume should show your value as an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impact on the recruiter or hiring manager who is reading it, you might not be invited for an interview. Here are a few reasons your resume must be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume demonstrates confidence as well as professionalism before you ever meet with potential employer in person.

2. First Impression

You will never get another chance to make a first impression. Your superior quality and carefully constructed document will build an image that will benefit your business in the future.

3. Helps Employers Remember You

The unique and compelling CV can assist recruiters in identifying the most important points they will remember about you as they review CVs. It also helps you stand out from other candidates who have their CVs submitted in word format.

How to Make Your Resume Be Different?

Now that we’ve seen the reason why a well-written resume is important, let’s look at ways one can revamp their CV:

1. Make Your Resume more specific to the job

Hiring Managers get a ton of paperwork; make sure you tailor it precisely to fit what they’re looking for, so they don’t have to think about what is most appropriate for their business culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Proudest Achievements

Do not just record your tasks; emphasize your achievements over tasks when possible. Make use of statistics and figures to show the impact you had in your previous roles.

3. Select A Professional Design

While choosing a professional design might sound like a simple decision for some usually, send resumes on different colors or templates they made using Microsoft Word – this makes it appear unprofessional

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Nowra Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.

A wonderful team they have there at Nowra resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.

Robert Staff
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 Nowra 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.
