4 Resume tips + 4 AI Resume tools!

It’s that time of the year when I update my Resume and make it up to date

So here are 4 tips I learned recently that you can incorporate as a working professional to update your CV or a job-hunting newbie to get shortlisted

I’m going to pair it up with 4 AI resume tools which impressed me the most

#1 Categorise your skills

This a simple trick to make sure you haven’t missed any skill

Categorize your skills!

Categories can be something like

Analytical Tools

Programming Language

Software

Softskills

For your soft skills add an example where you exhibited that skill

#2 Content split in resume

A basic rule of thumb is the 80-20 rule on resume content

80% should be your competence

Which is your work experiences, projects, and skills

20% should be your personality

Which is your interests, hobbies, or summary

#3 Have a master resume

Have a master resume which is 2-3 pages with everything you can think of you can put in your resume

For each company, you are applying, tailor the resume and shorten it with content that is relevant to a single page

#4 Non-negotiables

If you have experience less than 10 years make it one page.

Make two columns to fit all the content into one page

Remember that while applying for jobs it’s a player vs player game

The job you get is a job someone else doesn't

So try to

1. Add Unique Skills to your Resume

2. Make your Resume concise

3. Keep it relevant

Do not lie in your CV at all

It might be basic common sense but the number of people who lie in there and face consequences is so high!
