We get thousands of resumes every year. The people reading the resumes do not have the time to read each one thoroughly, in fact, the average time spent reading a CV is 10 – 45 seconds. That is why, every resume needs to make an instant impact. Here are a few tips you can use to help you with your job search.
Ensure good lighting, use a white background and wear smart professional clothes.
Your name, email, phone number and subject area should be marked on top.
Open with a short paragraph outlining your core strengths and your own philosophy.
Your Resume does not need to be any longer than two pages.
Make sure that all of the information is in order of most recent first.
Try to use your industry terms and words throughout your CV.
Space out your Resume so it does not look crowded and difficult to read.
Having professional font, sizing, and bold headings are really important.
There is no need to list every single course that you have taken, keep it relevant.
Include name, email and phone number.
