How Much Time Have You Spent Preparing Your Resume?

Your resumeย will get read in 8-12 seconds. Open Facebook, scroll through your newsfeed for 8-12 seconds. What do you remember? My point is, stay on point.

Do these things on your resume:

  • Focus on keywords. Keywords = hard skills
  • Place your top 3 Career Accomplishments at the top of your resume
  • List relevant experience and accomplishments for the job to which you are applying

Donโ€™t do these things on your resume:

  • Don’t list experience over 10 years and education dates
  • Don’t list your GPA
  • No photographs, text boxes, tables, or colors
  • No references needed
  • No address needed
  • No fluff

A resume is a marketing tool that gets to the point of your hard skill sets.ย It is how recruiters and hiring managers qualify you for an interview. Therefore, you donโ€™t need to be spending hours working on your resume. Itโ€™s one part of your total Career Brand Story.

When it comes to resumes, stay focused and to the point. You got this!ย
