According to DMR Business Statistics, there are approximately 100 million applications submitted on LinkedIn each month. With this huge volume, how do you ensure that you stand out?

Here are a few strategies which you can use to boost your resume:

Always ensure to keep your short description at the top as the headline. Make it short and simple and be very specific. Ensure that your headline communicates your value and fits the specific industry that you are trying to get into.

Adopting keywords in your headline is a great tactic as it helps to grab attention.

While the headline might not be the most important part of your resume, it can definitely captivate the hiring manager to read about you further.

While you might have had many job experiences and successes, you shouldn’t put everything in your resume. Be picky with what to showcase. There is no point of discussing your championship in athletics if you’re applying for a software development role. Make sure your content is relevant and fits the job description. In saying that, it’s also important to not fake it just to make it. Always be genuine about your skills and capabilities.

Easy readability makes a great impact. Make good use of the white spaces and divide your experiences into different chunks. Consider this:

Write about your outcomes and successes that you can boast about-interviewers will most likely to ask you details about those outcomes. Make your results stand out. Don’t just stick to discussing your responsibilities. Make use of quantifiable data. Using statistics adds value to your results.

Interacting with recruiters can be extremely beneficial and can get you ahead of the game. Due to their well-connected network, they have the best job insights and can give you honest feedback and even make suggestions of improvement!
