Hi there,
Here’s one simple shift that can make a big difference:
Tailor your resume strategically to match the job description.
We get it—it’s tempting to send out the same resume to 20 job openings. But here’s the truth: a generic resume blends in. A tailored one stands out.
Try this approach:
Before applying, study the job description and highlight the top 3–5 keywords or skills that are repeated. Then, weave those terms naturally into:
-
Your resume headline
-
The top skills section
-
Your work experience bullets (especially your accomplishments)
Why does this work?
✔ It gets you past Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
✔ It signals to recruiters that you’ve read the job post carefully
✔ It shows alignment between their needs and your experience
Pro tip: Use the “Qualifications” or “Requirements” section of the job posting like a checklist. Reflect their language—without copying it word-for-word—and showcase how you meet those needs.
