In this post we’ll discuss the reasons why it’s crucial that your resume stands out from the rest.

Importance of having an Impressive Resume

Your resume must reflect the value you bring as an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impact on the manager hiring or recruiter who reads it, you might not even be called in for an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume must be noticed:

1. Professional Image

A professionally written resume will establish trustworthiness and professionalism before you even meet with an potential employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

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

3. Employers will remember you

The unique and compelling CV can help recruiters identify the most important points they will remember about you while reviewing submissions – standing out from other candidates who send their CVs in word format.

How to Make Your Resume Make Your Resume Stand Out?

We’ve established why having an outstanding resume is important, let’s look at ways one can update their CV:

1. Customize Your Resume for The job

Hiring Managers get a ton of documents. You need to tailor yours precisely to the requirements of their hiring managers so they don’t have to think about which one best suits their company style, culture and so on.

2. Highlight Your Successes

Do not simply record your duties; highlight your accomplishments instead of the duties when it is possible. Use figures and statistics to prove the impact you had during your previous jobs.

3. Select A Professional Design

While picking a professional design might sound like a no-brainer for many, more often than not will send resumes with different designs or colors designed with Microsoft Word – this makes it 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 Orange 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.
