Importance of having an Impressive Resume

Your resume needs to reflect your value when you are an employee. If it doesn’t have an immediate impact on the recruiter or hiring manager who reads it, you might not get invited in for an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume needs to stand out

1. Professional Image

A well-written resume demonstrates confidence as well as professionalism before you meet with an prospective employer face-to-face.

2. First Impression

You don’t get a second chance at making a first impression. Your top quality and meticulously created document will generate the impression of a brand that will be beneficial to you later.

3. Helps Employers Recall You

A unique and captivating CV can help recruiters identify the most important points they will remember about you as they review applications – making you stand out others candidates that submit CV in Word format.

1. Customize Your Resume for The Position

Hiring Managers receive tons of documents; tailor yours precisely to what they’re looking for, so they don’t waste time figuring the best way to fit their company culture etc.

2. Highlight Your Highlight Your

Do not just record your tasks; emphasize your accomplishments instead of the tasks when possible. Make use of statistics and figures to prove your impact in the previous positions you held.

3. Choose a professional design

Though selecting a professional design might sound like a no-brainer for many, more often than not will send resumes with different templates or colors made with Microsoft Word – this makes it unprofessional

Additional Information

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Lismore Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Lismore resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
