With today’s increasing job mobility and worldwide searches for the “ perfect candidate”, multinational companies are often swamped with hundreds and even thousands of resumes for each job opening they have. In order to catch the attention of the recruiter, applicants must be able to present themselves using a format preferred by the company. This is often difficult, because styles differ between U.S.-based, Europe-based, and Asia-based companies. However, there are basic “Golden Rules” to ensure that your resume makes it to the top of the pack. 1.Make your resume easy to read: Resumes should be simple, not complex. Providing strong accomplishments in bulleted format will give the recruiter the basic gist. Furthermore, make sure that the formatting itself is easy on the eyes. A nice, legible font and plenty of white space will help out tremendously. 2.Brand and promote yourself: Responsibilities do not tell the recruiter much about your successes at the company. If you say that you “managed a budget”, was it $1,000, $10,000, or $1,000,000? Also, was your budget management successful? Relative measures and the scope of your project can tell us a lot more than vague statements. Remember to “brand” yourself: What is your career path? Are you a “Marketing Executive” or a “Restaurant Service Professional”? These bold statements will give you the credibility you deserve. 3.Be transparent and match keywords when possible: Make it easy to understand your previous experience. A sentence or two is all the recruiter needs to understand whether you are a good fit, usually by targeting your resume to include the keywords listed in the job description. 4.Describe any additional skills you have: Computer, professional, and language skills are always critical. Make sure to highlight any extra skills you can bring to the table, particularly those that are job-related. 5. Use strong, active actions instead of weak, passive ones: Companies want people that will rise to become their superstars and leaders. If accurate, instead of “working on” and “supporting”, use words such as “led”, “ created”, and “improved”. Following these steps will go a long way to improving your resume/CV for a global-ready application.
