Taking time to update resume, adding relevant experience, and creating a compelling formatting can put your application on the top of the candidate pile. You will not be there when someone first looks at your resume, so your resume has to do the talking and communicate your value.

Over the next few weeks we will be sharing a few tips to get you in the right direction.

To get us started though, here is 2020 Resume Tip #1

1. Highlight Relevant Experience
Simply put, you don’t need to list every accomplishment or job you’ve had. Instead, it would be beneficial to list the most relevant or recent experience. Whatever position you're applying for, highlight only your most relevant skills and experience.

What to do:
• Customize your resume to reflect the specific job you’re applying for
• Outline skills you have that make you the perfect candidate
• Talk about projects or successes you’ve had that are relatable

If you live in the Tampa area, surrounding counties, or anywhere in the United States, we would love to work with you on a new resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Contact us today for a free phone consultation.
