Rushed Resumes Don’t Get Interviews!

Let’s face it, writing your resume is one of the worst life admin jobs! No one likes it, especially when you haven’t written one for a long time, or ever. Like anything, the format of resumes changes over time (even the fact that we used to call them CVs and not resumes has changed). There are so many decisions about formatting, photos (or not), font, colours, and layout.

Recruitable Hub’s resume writer will make the experience of writing your resume easier than ever before. The templates are smick, the layout is tried and tested, the pre-written text makes it so easy. However, this doesn’t mean you should apply for the job the night before. To give yourself the best chance of finding work, allow yourself time to check your resume for the following:

    • LENGTH – ascertain if it’s too long or short. A resume that is too long may not be read, one that is too short could be overlooked.
    • LANGUAGE – check for mixing tenses, changing points of view (first or third person), grammar errors, too much repetition, use a professional writing style.
    • PHOTO – ask for an honest opinion on your resume photo, a friend/family member.
    • EMPLOYMENT GAPS – stand-out gaps in your resume will show, be sure to address these gaps in your resume, put a positive spin on them. Write about what you learned during your time away from the workforce.
    • HIGH JOB TURN OVER – make your resume read well and not raise red flags. Explain gaps in your resume.
    • KEYWORDS – Pick up on keywords used in the job description while avoiding cliche buzzwords.
