What influences a recruiter or potential employer to pick you? If two applicants share the same level of skill and experience, what makes one stand out more than the other?
In the first instance, the decision is made purely from what is written about them in their resume.
Have you ever been rejected for a job you applied for without even coming into contact with a person? How can someone deem you unsuitable for a position, when no one has spoken to you personally to find out? Quite simply, they have made the decision from what was written about you in your resume.
All preliminary recruitment decisions are made ‘on spec’. Recruiters and employers evaluate, rank and select suitable applicants by reviewing the content in their resumes. If you like what you read you progress the applicant through to the interview process; if you don’t like what you read you send the applicant a rejection letter.
So then, how important is your resume? When you think about it, it is one of the most vital pieces of documentation you will utilise throughout your lifetime and one of the hardest documents to write. In times of difficulty or financial hardship you will rely on it to save you and in times of prosperity you will capitalise on it to do better.
Your resume will generate an income for you, it will allow you to gain financial independence, it will provide you with stability and security, it will open up opportunities to gain experience and knowledge and it will motivate and encourage you to push yourself to grow and develop.
Your resume should reflect who you are, what you aspire to be, what you have done, what you know and what you are going to offer. It needs to showcase your skills, demonstrate your capabilities and highlight your unique personality in a tone that persuades an employer to choose you.
