Hiring managers receive heaps of resumes for any given job opening, so they often miss, skip or toss a lot of them. Luckily, there are things you can do to help ensure your resume is seen. Here are 6 tips.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Excellent tips in this article from Forbes.
Yes...research the hiring process, and do follow up after you have submitted your resume. Many times when a candidate finds out the name of the recruitment manager/or the hiring manager. They often also send their resume via snail mail to those individuals letting them know that they applied for the position.
I can't tell you how many times a manager has called HR and said, I received this resume who applied online, and I would like to meet this person. It doesn't work all of the time, and you will not usually stand a chance if you haven't followed the submission process.

Staying in shape is good for your body and your résumé, and in both areas you want to push yourself.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Love the comparisons with working out to get yourself in shape is similar to working out to shape up your resume.
It is true so many times we have to bulk up the resume to highlight key projects, competencies, experiences, etc.
On other times, we need to trim down certain specifics that may not be relevant or significant for the position you are applying for.

The advice that I often give...Not only should you make sure your clothes are up to date, you should do the same with your resume.
If your clothes are from the 80s and your resume still has jobs from high school with a career objective. Those are all sure signs that your resume needs an overhaul.

Trish Sadar's insight:
I could not agree more with this article that Your resume could make or brreak you!
However, my advice even to recent grads -- avoid the one-page resume. The job of your resume is to sell you to be invited back again. Will your resume differentiate you over other resumes to land you the interview? Is your resume customized to the particular job and industry you are seeking?

Helpful insights for you Re. the importance of keyword optimisation in your CV / resume http://t.co/BU6OvE4I (Please RT)
Key words are only a strating place to truly have an effective resume that is targeted to the industry, job, and organization you are applying for.
I agree with this article: the place to find the key words is in the job advertisement or posting.
Keywords can include, but are not limited to:
Also, what you should not do is cut and paste the key words onto the bottom of your resume. The goal is to mold your resume by integrating the key words. The summary, competencies, experiences, expertise, and projects should all be groomed to highlight the experience that is relevant to the job.

Too much information and using fancy fonts are common mistakes! If you want to be safe with fonts, use Times New Roman or Arial.
Also, don't make yourself to look like a CEO when you are applying for a clerk position. Remember, the recruiter is not necessarily looking for the best candidate -- they are looking for the candidate who is the right fit for the position, department, and organization.

Image is everything, so ensure that the details, emails, and your online presence reflects a professional image the employer would want to hire for their organization.
When recruiters are reviewing resumes, make sure that your online image social media, twitter, facebook, etc. is professional.
Email names: Display a professional email name on your resume. A recruiter may think twice about contacting you if your email address may be perceived as being too unprofessional for their organization.
Remember, with resumes.....image is everything, so ensure that your details, email addresses, and your online presence reflect a professional image the employer would want to hire for their organization.

Start off on the right foot:
Remember to focus on: professional work-place appearance, professional office etiquette, professional email, and overall professional communication.
Yes, your resume must answer the question to the recruiter.....can this person do the job? Are they qualified and a right fit for the company?
Also....remember.....your #1 job of your resume is to land you the interview! That means your resume needs to be targeted to the job/industry and set you apart from all of the hundreds and possibly thousands of resumes.
Your resume must sell yourself when you are not there to do it yourself. Does your resume do that for you?
