Part 4/12:
A one- or two-page resume is ideal. Avoid cluttering your document with excessive design elements—ATS algorithms may misinterpret complex formatting. If you have extensive achievements, consider submitting supplementary documents or a portfolio.
Highlight Skills with Concrete Achievements:
Instead of vague statements like "hardworking," specify measurable contributions—such as "Increased sales revenue by 20%" or "Led a team of three to complete project X ahead of schedule." Quantifiable achievements stand out.
Reverse Engineering the Job Description:
Using tools like ChatGPT, applicants can analyze the job listing to identify essential skills and then align their experience accordingly, ensuring their application resonates with employer priorities.
