✍️ Resume Hacks: Less Fluff, More Impact

✍️ Make Your Resume Work for You — Not Against You

Your resume shouldn’t just list where you’ve been, it should show where you’re going. If you want employers to stop scrolling and start calling, here’s how to make your resume truly stand out:

🔹 Lead with a bold headline
Open with a punchy, 2–3 line summary that spotlights who you are and the value you bring. Go beyond your job title, highlight your strengths, experience, or passion in a way that makes the reader want to know more.

🔹 Customize, every time
Sending the same resume everywhere? Stop. Tailor your resume to each role by weaving in keywords from the job description. It shows intention, effort, and alignment, and helps you beat the ATS (applicant tracking system) filters too.

🔹 Make your impact measurable
Don’t just say what you did, show what changed because you did it. Swap vague duties for clear wins, like: “Streamlined onboarding process, reducing employee ramp-up time by 30%.”

🔹 Design like a pro (even if you’re not one)
Keep your layout clean, modern, and easy to scan. Use simple fonts, consistent formatting, and white space to guide the reader’s eye. A cluttered resume = a missed opportunity.
