Candidate Tuesday Tips #11

Hey! It’s Dan with CCR Search Recruitment Agency and today’s #CandidateTuesdayTips are diving into the mind of what a recruiter thinks about when looking at your resume and the changes you can fix to get you #hired faster. Let’s dive into the tips!

1.     Objective statements are outdated: When recruiters first see your resume, they are looking for tangible evidence of your skills and accomplishments. Focus on highlighting your achievements and value proposition. Provide specific examples of how you have contributed to previous roles, such as increasing sales by a certain percentage or implementing a successful project. This will demonstrate your abilities and make a stronger impression on recruiters.

2.     Don’t put your full address: In the past, it was common to include your full address on a resume. However, in today's digital age, it is no longer necessary and can even pose a safety risk. Recruiters are primarily interested in your contact information, such as your phone number and email address, which are sufficient for communication purposes. Omitting your full address also helps protect your privacy and personal security.

3.     2 Pages is more than enough:  Focus on highlighting your key achievements, skills, and experiences that directly relate to the position you're applying for.

4.     Have a professional resume made: If your resume is difficult to read or has poor formatting, it can be a major turn-off for recruiters. Ensure that your resume has a clean and professional layout, with clear headings, bullet points, and consistent formatting. Use a legible font and appropriate font size to enhance readability. Additionally, organize your information in a logical and structured manner, making it easy for recruiters to find the relevant details they are looking for.

By following these tips, you can make your resume more appealing to recruiters and increase your chances of getting noticed for job opportunities.

Good luck with your job search!
