Your resume is your first impression - so make it count. Employers don’t spend long scanning it, so it needs to be clear, relevant, and tailored. Here’s what really catches their eye:
✍️ 1. Clear Formatting
Keep it clean and easy to read. Avoid walls of text, use simple fonts, and make sure everything lines up neatly.
Ensure your contact phone number and email address is correct.
🎯 2. Relevant Experience
Don’t list every job you’ve ever had - highlight the ones that match the role. Use bullet points to show what you did and what you achieved.
⏱️ 3. Recent Work History
Employers want to know what you’ve been doing lately, including your current or most recent role. If there are gaps, be upfront - brief explanations are better than leaving them guessing.
💡 4. Skills That Match
Tailor your resume for each job. If they want someone with Excel, scheduling, or forklift experience - make sure it’s on page one. Include current credentials you hold i.e.: tickets, licenses, certificates and any recent training you may have undertaken.
✅ 5. No Typos
Spelling mistakes can cost you the interview. Run a spell check and get someone else to proofread it if you can.
