7+ Resume Tips From a Fortune 100 Recruiter

At some point in our lives, the majority of us will be forced to hunt for a job. It’s tedious, it’s time-consuming, and it’s often heartbreaking, to continue sending hope out into the world and get nothing but radio silence – or a chorus of “no thanks” back in return.

In this day and age, when at least some of every recruiting process is handled by a computer, it’s more important than ever to know what works, what doesn’t, and what could make your resume stand out from the rest.

That’s where these 7+ tips from @slizagna will come in handy, so get your notebook and pen ready to jot them down.

8. Go the extra mile.

It takes some extra time, but it will be worth it.

7. There’s no reason to include your address/location.

It won’t help anything, and in some cases, it could hurt your chances.

6. Objective statements are a waste of time.

And no one has enough of that these days.

5. The fact that you have a degree should be sufficient.

4. This is a big one.

Different versions of Word format differently, but a pdf will always look just as you left it.

3. Spend time considering your words.

Otherwise, there’s no way to tell how you would be different from the next applicant.

2. For the students out there.

1. Help a recruiter out.

You always want to be easy to find.
