. Role of the resume. In the age of LinkedIn, it is very common that a job opening might receive hundreds or more resumes. Your job-targeted resume needs to show that: You are qualified You have the experience You are very unique The employer needs to talk to you It is not a biography of your professional life. Your resume has to survive an ATS and HR screening..

. Parts of the resume. Name (in bold) and contact details including clickable social media links Short objective statement with the job description Overview of qualifications, strengths, and key skill set (keywords from job description) Experience Education and training Licenses and certificates Honors and awards Activities and associations.

. Objective statement and summary. The objective statement has to show that you want the job. It should be short and crisp. The summary has to show that you are the best person to do the job. All the skills in the job description have to appear in the summary. The experience (next section) should focus on your achievements and provide tangible evidence to support your summary..

. Experience. Font size not smaller than 10-point. Short sentences. Action verbs. Put in bold your achievement in your experience (like increasing revenues, improving efficiency of processes, lower costs etc..) often in the form of the Business problem, your Solution, the Outcome (with numbers) Ex: instead of: Manages the search engine of a global brand, handling 5 million search sessions weekly, driving $10 million revenue. Write: driving weekly revenue growth by 20% from $10 million to $12 million Focus on your achievements..

. Social Media. Your LinkedIn profile has to be consistent with your resume Your LinkedIn profile has to look professional Check your other social media accounts (Twitter, IG, TikTok..) Remove anything controversial (posts, comments, funny jokes..) Be positive and cheerful Follow all the professional associations and news in your industry and leave controversial groups (like Flat Earth Society) Show that you are on top of what is happening in your sector and the sector of your prospective employer.
