Crafting a Winning Resume

Most large employers use AI screening tools. Tailor your resume with keywords from the job description, use active verbs, and avoid clichés. Proofread carefully – one typo can cost you an interview.

Using a company that specializes in CV/resume writing might be something you want to consider.

• Use phrases included in the job description.
• Check you meet the requirements.
• Use active verbs.
• Use a spell-checker as there should be no spelling or grammar mistakes.
• Avoid using phrases such as ‘team player’, ‘hardworking’ and ‘multitasker’, these are too generic and don’t really say anything about you as an individual.
• Tailor your CV to the job you are applying for.
• Include details of your previous working history.
• Use a current, sensible, email address.
  For example: Lovebunny@gmail.com might have once been okay to use, but does it portray the right image for the role you are applying for?

• Most jobs are posted online, generally through job websites such as Indeed, Flexjobs, ZipJob, etc.
• Some companies have a ‘recruitment’ or ‘careers’ section on their own company website. This requires you to return to their website regularly to see what openings have been listed.
• Another option is to register with online job agencies that will try and match you directly with potential employers.
• Don’t forget professional forums and websites such as LinkedIn as they also offer job opportunities.
• Have a look at the job websites listed above and see if any of them are right for you – and remember to use your current updated CV.

Completing the job application

Take your time! This is an extremely important step and you shouldn’t rush it.

• Read over the job description and ensure you thoroughly understand what they require you to do. This could include things such as:
• Do they want your work history listed in reverse order?
• Do they want examples of specific tasks you have completed?
• Do they want you to suggest a salary?
• Do they want you to include a photograph?
• Do they want you to provide proof of right to work?
• Whatever you do, make sure you complete it in the fashion that they want.  And remember to meet any deadline!
• Now sit back and wait.

You got an interview!

Well done – you got an interview.  Have you been rehearsing what you are going to say?

• The best advice we can give is to practice in front of a mirror and speak out loud.  Seriously!
• It is very easy to run answers through in your head, but then when you come to say it out loud, you get all muddled and lose your thread. The best way to deal with this is to actually stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself, and say your answers out loud.  Do this several times until you are comfortable with what you are saying.
• Remember to carry out as much research about the job role as possible. Is there anything that you can introduce in the conversation that shows you are genuinely interested in what is currently happening within their company?
• Try and make yourself stand out and be remembered (for the right reasons) over the next applicant.

Remember, “You only get one chance at making a first impression!“
