How Do You Write a Unique Resume?
While writing one resume and sending it out to different employers may seem appealing, it’s not a winning strategy. You’ll lose against the Applicant Tracking Software, and your recruiter won’t even glance at your resume. So to make your resume unique, follow these tips:
- Always tailor your resume to each job you’re applying for.
- Only add the experience that is relevant to the position.
- List significant accomplishments on your resume and prove them with numbers.
- Use headings, bold type, and professional resume fonts to make each resume section stand out.
- Don’t try to make your resume memorable by making it too visually creative—the best resume templates usually have various color schemes available, which is sufficient.
