How do you create a strong resume?

You want to create a banging resume? Here's the place to be! Job applications and a resume belong together as Bacardi and Cola. A Modern curriculum vitae is the way to present yourself powerfully to potential employers. A good start is half the battle, right? Here are some tips to help you do just that. So, what are you waiting for?  

1. Create overview

Make use of headings, such as experience, study and competencies. In addition, it is important to make job titles bold. Don't make it a mess.

2. Make your resume stand out, but keep it businesslike

Using a nice layout will make your resume stand out among the rest. Be sure not to overdo it, as it is still business correspondence.

3. Most important first!

Put your work experience in chronological order, your most recent employer at the top and that's how you work down. Don't use too much space for your personalia, leaving more room for more important information.

4. Create a profile

With a profile, you show the employer what to expect from you. On page 1, you can also give a description of your strengths. Make sure these match the job posting and use your own words. Keep the profile sketch to a maximum of 3 lines.

WEWORKZ PRO-TIP: Look in the job posting for keywords that suit you. Choose the most important of these and incorporate them into your profile.

5. Use a professional email address

Of course, this has nothing to do with your resume, but it's a very odd sight if there's a fornitepaardenlover@gmail.com email address. So make sure you have a professional email address.
