First impressions are important when it comes to a job search and your resume is often just that.  It is not fair!  But it is true: Recruiters and hiring managers definitely judge a book by it's cover, in this case, your resume. And it could be mere seconds of scanning it before they make a judgment.

​​

It's hard to know what companies and recruiters are looking for, or what they notice on a resume -- and why they keep reading yours, or toss it in the "no" pile.

​​

What should be included on a resume?  You need all of the basics plus key elements relevant to the role, while also showcasing your professional brand.

​

Writing a resume can be confusing and incredibly time-consuming.  ​It's hard to know the best format and key elements to include.  But unfortunately, not updating your resume means you'll continue using an old version, which can be an outdated, unappealing document that doesn't truly reflect your style or include your skills and abilities or anything about the job you want. 

 

Having an overly generic or AI-produced resume can be immensely off-putting to hiring managers -- and dangerous if it is not honest.

​

A clear, engaging, authentic and data-heavy resume can make the difference between getting a call and getting a decline letter. Having a modern, updated resume is an essential element of today's competitive, brand-focused market, whether you're looking for a new role or just want to be ready and stay current. ​ But the resume should be 100% truthful, written in your voice and represent the work you did in an authentic way.  It also needs to look appealing and encourage someone to keep reading.​

 

I've helped countless candidates reformat resumes over the years as a recruiter and career coach and I truly enjoy the process because I know how important it is for a candidate's first impression.
