Making Your Resume Stand Out

How can a resume stand out without standing out so much that it gets tossed in the trash can? Tough question and there isn't an easy answer, but there are some things you can certainly do to make your resume look as awesome as possible without alienating a prospective employer.

First, load your resume with keywords. Ok, let me rephrase that. Load might not be the best word. Inject keywords into your resume to embolden it. Use words that show action as well as words which are common to your particular field. Many companies use software to review resumes and search for keywords. If your resume doesn't have the right ones or have them in the right amounts, you won't get selected for an interview.

Second, make sure you use a job objective to clarify exactly what it is you are looking for and how you will be an asset to the organization. Don't assume it will be clear to someone who reads your resume. Be clear and be concise.

Third, use white space to your advantage. Don't make your resume so verbose that it wearies the eyes of the reader. Allow for breaks between paragraphs and sections.

Fourth and last, use the best quality paper that you can afford. Actually, if you can't afford outstanding paper, find someone from whom you can borrow money and buy the best paper you can find. It will be worth it. No one will take a resume seriously if it is on 20 plain white paper. Make it look good - and that means white, opaque, linen paper.

So, now you have a pretty good idea of what you need to do to make sure your resume looks as good as possible.

Writing a Job Objective

Writing a job objective is a very personal exercise. While I can offer some suggestions, you will have to create your own job objective based on your career goals, past experience and employment opportunities.

The objective section of the resume is where you briefly explain how you will be an asset to the organization. It's not about you. It's about what you can do for the employer.

If you focus the job objective on your own needs, the employer is going to make the assumption that you will not be willing to align your goals with the organization's goals.

When writing a job objective statement for a resume, it is important to realize that you should tailor that to each position and each organization to which you apply for a job. Include some of the key words from the job ad or vacancy statement you read. Not only will that get the employer's attention, but it will also benefit you if the organization uses a scanner to "read" resumes. Having the right keywords in your resume are essential if the prospective employer utilizes this technology. You won't necessarily know if an employer scans resumes or not, so using keywords are important and can only help you.

Keep it short and to the point. The rest of your resume will explain everything in greater detail and anything that needs further clarification can be handled in the cover letter.
