How did you end up in Austin, living at our community of apartments on East Riverside? A lot of our residents came here because they saw a career opportunity they simply could not pass up. Those kinds of opportunities pop up all the time in Austin, which is why it’s so important to keep your interview skills sharp and your resume up to date. We’ll be talking about the latter topic in the blog post below!<\/p>\n
This week’s blog is all about ways you can make sure your resume stands out from the crowd and passes the eye-test. Employers deal with hundreds of resumes every day, and they’re looking for every reason to quickly toss a resume in the discard pile. If you follow some of the advice in this week’s post, you’ll give your resume the best chance of surviving the first round of cuts. <\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Without further delay, let’s get right to the list of resume tips! Oh, and when you’re done reading through the blog post below, please feel free to share the link to this page with your friends and neighbors at your community of East Riverside apartments<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Put the important stuff at the top<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hiring managers are busy, and they’re probably going to try to read through your resume as quickly as possible. Make sure they’re able to see the important stuff. By putting your most relevant info up top, you give yourself the best chance of impressing your hiring manager.<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Make sure your resume is keyword-rich <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although you aren’t trying to get your resume to rank on the first page of Google’s search results, you still have to make sure it’s got the right keywords. That’s because a lot of resumes go through resume-scanning software before they ever get in front of a human hiring manager. Luckily, it’s not hard to get those keywords in there. Take a look at some of the words and phrases in the job description and insert them into the experience section of your resume. <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a designer look at it<\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It doesn’t matter if you’re applying to the least creative job in the world — your resume still has to look good. Submitting an ugly resume just gives the hiring manager one more reason to throw it in the discard pile and move on to the next candidate. You don’t have to be a graphic designer to produce a good-looking resume; you just have to show it to someone who has an eye for design. The little things matter in job applications, and this is one of those little things that can help you move on to the next round. <\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Those are all the resume tips we’ve got to share with you this week, residents!
