When applying for business and corporate jobs you should be sure to use a resume that is clean and modern without excessive graphics or atypical layouts.
Some tips include:
- Format your resume wisely. No matter how well written your resume is, it won’t get a thorough reading the first time it is seen. It will most likely get scanned over for a few seconds being searched for keywords, so keep it clean and easy to read.
- Don’t be afraid to recognize accomplishments and other awards as well as past job experiences.
- Cater your resume to the industry, and even tailor to the specific company you’re applying to, using keywords directly from their job ad, and their company name.
