qWhen Job application writer creating a successful resume is about impressing employers
and increasing the chances of the applicant gaining an interview for the desired position.
qIn this day and age humans are all very much advertising aware consumers. Why
therefore, do we fail to approach our resume writing like we are producing a billboard on
the side of a busy highway?
qThe resume should be shouting out to potential employers but instead in many cases it is
more like a small advertisement buried amongst many similar advertisements in the
middle pages of a magazine.
3
PA G E
qSo how does a successful resume writer go about creating a billboard that will get the
applicant noticed?
qInitially and most importantly how does the resume writer create a resume that presents
the unique skills and experience of the applicant in a way that stands out to the potential
employer from the crowd?
4
PA G E
qWhen Job Application writing it should never be a case of submitting the same resume
to multiple employers.
qEach employer crafts their job description to suit their particular position.
qIt therefore makes better sense for the resume writer Brisbane to tweak each resume
submitted to suit the potential employer and job application.
5
PA G E
qThe resume writer Brisbane can do this by including the same key words while Job
application writing as the employer uses in the qualifications, roles and responsibilities,
and requirements of the job description as advertised.
qBy matching the applicant skills and qualities using these key words during the resume
writing process it enables the potential employer to clearly see the correlation between
their requirements and the qualities of the job applicant.
6
PA G E
qResume writers Brisbane also prioritise the important information and highlight it
prominently in the resume.
qThe experienced resume writer can produce a resume that impresses the reader and
clearly demonstrates the applicant’s qualities, abilities and skills as a match to the
advertised position.
7
PA G E
qAn excellent resume writer will use clear and consistent formatting to make the resume
easy to peruse.
qThe clearer and easier it is for potential employers to skim the document and find their
desired requirements the more chance the applicant has of gaining an interview for the
position.
8
PA G E
qFont – a clear and professional font in 12 point for the body and 14-16 point for headings
helps the resume to be readable.
qHeadings – using bold, italic and underling highlights and emphasises important
information.
qSections – resume writers chose sections and headings to be relevant to the job
description and clarify the specific areas included in the resume.
9
PA G E
qBalancing space and text – the resume writer uses bullet points to list information and
make the document easier to read than if there was large blocks of text.
qInclude normal margins – the professional resume writer is aware many employers write
notes in the margins of the resume for use in the interview and selection process so it is
important to provide adequate space for this.
10
PA G E
qBefore sending off the finished resume a few last checks are vital. Check that contact
details are current for the applicant and the referees. Ensure referees have been
consulted prior to being listed.
qSpell check, grammar check and proof read then convert the document into a PDF prior
to sending it so that it maintains the desired formatting when opened by the potential
employer.
