Now my next goal is to update the wording to make the content more appealing. In today&#8217;s post, I&#8217;m going to share some tips I found from reddit forums dealing with improving resumes. <\/p>\n<p><b>Tips<\/b><br \/>\n1. Get their attention! Most managers reviewing your resume will fly through it in less than a minute. Tell a short story to capture their attention. Show, don&#8217;t tell.<\/p>\n<p>Bad: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m an expert in sales<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Good: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Three weeks after I was hired for this position, I grossed $$$ in sales and trained 2 new employees <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>2. Keep it short and relevant. No one enjoys reading a 10 page resume, so keep it under 3 pages. Bonus points if it&#8217;s 1 page.<\/p>\n<p>3. You should fit your resume to each job specifically. Use some of the same language that&#8217;s used in the job posting. Or better yet review the resumes of others in a similar position for inspiration. Checkout <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indeed.com\/resumes\">Indeed.com\/resume<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>4. Have someone proof read it!<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the purpose of your resume is to get you an interview, not the job. Keep it relatively short and relevant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last post dealt with updating the layout for my on-line resume.
