Is your resume not getting you the result you want? Do you want to be noticed with your next resume? We have 10 tips to making a killer resume.
1. Contact Information
It’s basic, it’s simple, but many sometimes forget to include or update it in their resume. The employer can contact you if they don’t have your most recent contact. So take a few minutes to ensure you resume has your most recent contact the employer can reach you at.
2. Grammar and Spelling
Nothing will get your resume to be set aside faster than a resume or cover letter with grammar and spelling mistakes. Grammar and spelling mistakes distracts the reader of your application and makes your application look unprofessional. So take the time to read your application carefully and if available, ask your friends and family to help you proof read your application.
3. Incorrect Employer
Do you know who you are applying for? Have you forgot to update your application to the correct employer you are applying for? As you try to apply for more jobs to increase your chance of being hired, make sure to update your applications so that the right application is sent to the right employer.
4. Add Something About You
Chances are high that your employer has read through many resumes that at times may seem so similar that he or she may be confused as to whether it came from the same person. Differentiate yourself by highlighting some unique things about you, whether it’s your hobby of knitting or you ran a full marathon last summer. Adding something unique about you will help your employers differentiate you from the rest of the other applicants.
5. Highlight How You Qualify

It’s important to show how your skills and work experiences corresponds to what the employers look for and hence why you are qualified for the job.
