  1. How to Write An Exceptional Resume

  2. Introduction Having a sound resume that includes all pertinent components is critical to landing your next job. Crafting an exceptional resume these days has the added challenge of attracting not only hiring managers but also the software bots doing their upfront work. The following tips can help.

  3. 1. Choose a Basic Font When formatting your resume, it is highly advisable for you to use a basic font that's easy to read, both for hiring managers and for applicant management systems. Google also favors simple over the complex. Many fonts make your resume clear and easy to read while retaining your individual style.

  4. 2. Add Numbers For Accomplishments Adding numbers to your resume shows employers in a black-and-white fashion what you have accomplished at work. All of your achievements may not be quantifiable, but adding those that are can serve as powerful tools in the case of salary negotiation.

  5. 3. Put the most important & relevant info at the start Prioritize the content of your resume so that your most recent experience along with the most relevant figures are listed first. Describe key accomplishments at the top of each position and quantify them if possible.

  6. 4. Include common keywords You should strive to include the same keywords appearing in job descriptions in your resume. That way, you can increase the chances of your resume matching available positions and of you being selected for an interview.

  7. 5. Optimize job descriptions in your resume Utilize subtle color highlights to draw the eye to important details or quantified successes. Blend your own style with language the software bots will understand. Good hiring managers will read the same. If possible, keep it under two pages. Bots and humans alike prefer shorter, more concise resumes.
