Yeah, layoffs have soared this year increasing 396% from this time last year. So whether you've just gone through it or you're just looking to polish up your resume to stay ahead of it. You need your resume to stick out from the rest and really grab the company's attention. Turns out there are some clear things to do and definitely not to do that will make or break your chances. So I've gathered the best tricks together for this resume. Crash course first, your resume needs to stand out in an instant according to recent studies where they actually monitor the eye movements of recruiters, you only have 6 to 8 seconds to grab their attention. That's it. Then they're moving on. So how fast is that? Let's pop in the clock right over here and count down here we go. They've decided that is literally all the time you have. So how do you get their attention? Follow the f pattern? This is the best piece of advice I can give you right off the top. The f pattern. Part of those eye movement studies is how recruiters read resumes, they read on the horizontal across on the very top, first, top horizontally first, then they look at the middle of the resume again, looking horizontal. So you're sort of seeing the beginnings of an F, then they look down the side of the resume vertically up and down. So now you see that clear f bottom right of the resume. If you wanted to see it, don't put it there. That's the no go zone and keep the layout simple, making sure each section has full titles. And if you have something you'd like to highlight like awards or accomplishments, put them in *** box to draw their eye. Next tip, it's all about the numbers. Why? Because in the hiring process don't know you as *** person yet. They don't know you're *** great person like I do. So we have to show them evidence, we have to show them numbers and that's what recruiters are looking for. Here's an example on *** resume you write, I managed the budget to plan big events, manage the budget to plan big events. It's vague. Give them numbers. Here's *** better idea. Manage *** $10,000 budget to plan large scale workshops for over 500 employees. Now, I get an idea. Think you don't have numbers. Oh, I didn't really work with numbers. Let's say you're *** receptionist and you answered phones, you didn't just answer phones. You managed 250 calls per day for an office of over 500 employees. That's impressive. And when you need words, be choosy about the ones you use. Studies show these are the most used verbs in resumes. You ready worked, helped responsible for. We've all written that and they're weak. Those are weak words. We talked to some recruiters. Here's what they say you should use, implemented, streamlined, strategized, improved, executed, collaborated. Researchers say those words stand out. They're power words, action words. Here's an idea to go even further, go on the company's website and use the words they use to describe themselves. In fact, let's take that *** step further. Grab some of the key words you see in the job posting itself, the employer will read your stuff and be like, yeah, this person really gets it. He gets us great fit. There's an old marketing adage that says we have to see something seven times before we take action. So find those buzzwords in the actual post and use them. That's all for today. Back to you.
