How to write a resume that gets you hired

When a hiring manager is doing their initial 15-20 second scan of your resume, they’re looking for answers to the following four questions: 1. What specific role are you targeting? 2. What specific results have you achieved that show you're the right fit for this position? 3. What skills, qualifications, and strengths do you bring, and can you prove them? 4. Can you provide specific achievements you've delivered in the past that indicate you can deliver them in the future? These four questions can and should be answered in the top third of your resume. This showcase section is designed to feature the answers to these four questions so when a hiring manager reads your resume, their immediate thought is, “This is exactly who I’ve been looking for” We do this by: - Adding your target job title and three high-priority skills to the very top of your resume. - Underneath, we add a personal branding statement that cannot be said about anyone else. It must contain your differentiators. - Create an accomplishment section that outlines three specific results you’ve accomplished that are the most relevant to the needs of this employer and position. - Create a core strengths section filled with hard skill keywords, qualifications and strengths that are relevant to the role. - Write results-focused resume bullets that spotlight the specific achievements you’ve delivered in the past. Choose achievements that directly relate to the needs, problems and goals of the position. Employers will judge your future performance based on your past performance. Your past performance is an indicator of future success. Use metrics, data, and figures to cement in the hiring manager’s mind that these results are repeatable and verifiable. The more specific you are, the more believable your results. Sound overwhelming? I've got you covered.
