Top 5 tips for a Powerhouse Resume

  1. Make sure your resume is specific to the position to which you are applying.  More specifically, if there are duties of the potential job that you have performed previously be sure to highlight those as an area of expertise!

  2. Be result oriented!  For example, instead of stating ‘managed payroll’ perhaps say ‘optimized company resources through payroll management.’

  3. List your employer and what they do!  A two sentence highlight of each of your employer’s nature of business helps the potential hiring manager better understand your role.

  4. Be consistent in your formatting! This may sound elementary, but you would be amazed what consistent formatting does for the overall professionalism of your resume.

  5. Make certain to list any certifications, degrees, or trainings you possess to identify yourself a stand-out applicant.

These tips may seem simple but following them can make you a cut above your competition.
