• When Job application writer creating a successful
  resume is about impressing employers and
  increasing the chances of the applicant gaining
  an interview for the desired position.
• In this day and age humans are all very much
  advertising aware consumers. Why therefore, do we
  fail to approach our resume writing like we are
  producing a billboard on the side of a busy
  highway?
• The resume should be shouting out to potential
  employers but instead in many cases it is more
  like a small advertisement buried amongst many
  similar advertisements in the middle pages of a
  magazine.

• So how does a successful resume writer go about
  creating a billboard that will get the applicant
  noticed?
• Initially and most importantly how does the
  resume writer create a resume that presents the
  unique skills and experience of the applicant in
  a way that stands out to the potential employer
  from the crowd?

• When Job Application writing it should never be a
  case of submitting the same resume to multiple
  employers.
• Each employer crafts their job description to
  suit their particular position.
• It therefore makes better sense for the resume
  writer Brisbane to tweak each resume submitted to
  suit the potential employer and job application.

5

• The resume writer Brisbane can do this by
  including the same key words while Job
  application writing as the employer uses in the
  qualifications, roles and responsibilities, and
  requirements of the job description as
  advertised.
• By matching the applicant skills and qualities
  using these key words during the resume writing
  process it enables the potential employer to
  clearly see the correlation between their
  requirements and the qualities of the job
  applicant.

• Resume writers Brisbane also prioritise the
  important information and highlight it
  prominently in the resume.
• The experienced resume writer can produce a
  resume that impresses the reader and clearly
  demonstrates the applicants qualities, abilities
  and skills as a match to the advertised position.

• An excellent resume writer will use clear and
  consistent formatting to make the resume easy to
  peruse.
• The clearer and easier it is for potential
  employers to skim the document and find their
  desired requirements the more chance the
  applicant has of gaining an interview for the
  position.

8

• Font a clear and professional font in 12 point
  for the body and 14-16 point for headings helps
  the resume to be readable.
• Headings using bold, italic and underling
  highlights and emphasises important information.
• Sections resume writers chose sections and
  headings to be relevant to the job description
  and clarify the specific areas included in the
  resume.

9

• Balancing space and text the resume writer uses
  bullet points to list information and make the
  document easier to read than if there was large
  blocks of text.
• Include normal margins the professional resume
  writer is aware many employers write notes in the
  margins of the resume for use in the interview
  and selection process so it is important to
  provide adequate space for this.

• Before sending off the finished resume a few last
  checks are vital. Check that contact details are
  current for the applicant and the referees.
  Ensure referees have been consulted prior to
  being listed.
• Spell check, grammar check and proof read then
  convert the document into a PDF prior to sending
  it so that it maintains the desired formatting
  when opened by the potential employer.
