Top 10 Resume "Hacks" to
Stand Out among Other Candidates
1. Tweak your resume to fit the Job Description.
2. While listing your experience & qualifications, list the most relevant to the post you are applying for.
3. Don't include old information that may not be of any interest to the employer.
4. Make sure bullet points are achievement-oriented with power words and action verbs.
5. Never lie about your abilities.
6. Be consistent with your use of font sizes and spacing.
7. Use standard fonts and sizes – Times New Roman, Cambria, Calibri, etc.
8. Don't use fancy designs – Shadow, Inner Glow, All Caps, etc.
9. Save and send the resume as a PDF, so it will retain its formatting if somebody prints it.
10. Last but not the least, a resume won't be the only factor that helps to land you a job. Put your best foot forward at every stage of the selection process.
Best of luck!
