Resume tip! If you have a skills section on your resume, make sure it maximizes your SKILLS, not your personality. For example - Using the phrase "hard-working" as a skill. Most (if not all) employers will look right past it. It's not a skill. It's a character attribute. What's more meaningful are tech platforms you've worked in or certifications. For example: Microsoft Excel, Sage, QuickBooks, CFA certification Those are skills, not personality traits. You can still showcase being "hard-working" by giving quantifiable examples when you get to the interview stage, but leave it off your resume to make it stronger and more attractive to employers. Good luck out there! If we can help, let us know. #jobseekers #resumeadvice

New Post: Showcase Your Skills to Gain a Promotion - Years ago, a resume was constructed to promote skills. The format was to list employer details, a detailed list of the position’s tasks/duties, and education regardless of the position applied for. Simple, right? It didn’t matter (or prove) if an applicant could do the listed tasks/duties well… The role of the resume has changed. Formatting …

I know you all are searching for jobs at this moment. Here are some resume-building tips from my own experience in the field: • Showcase Your Skills: Let your expertise shine through! Whether it's accounting principles, auditing, taxation, or financial analysis, also make sure to highlight your technical skills and the professional tools you excel at. • Don't Overload with Details: Keep it concise and to the point. Recruiters appreciate clarity, so avoid exaggerating your resume with unnecessary information. Trust me, adding your marital status won’t land you the job! • Numbers Speak Volumes: Quantify your achievements whenever possible. It not only helps interviewers understand your impact but also increases your chances of securing that job offer. • Don't Forget Soft Skills: Yes, technical skills are crucial, but don't underestimate the power of soft skills like communication, teamwork, and leadership. Showcase your ability to adapt and collaborate effectively. • Tailor Your Resume: One size does not fit all! Customize your resume for each application by highlighting experiences and skills that match the specific requirements of the role. • Proofread Thoroughly: Avoid those embarrassing typos and grammatical errors! Take the time to proofread your resume multiple times to ensure there are no grammatical errors. Remember, your resume is your ticket to making a great first impression. Make it count!

Are you wondering how to craft a resume with a career gap? Taking a gap year can be a great opportunity to explore new interests and gain new skills. However, it can also create challenges when it comes to building your resume and finding a job after your gap year. Here are some strategies to help you build a strong resume that showcases your skills and experience from your gap year: [1] Highlight your achievements: When listing your experiences from your gap year on your resume, focus on your achievements and the skills you developed. For example, if you volunteered at a non-profit organization, highlight any fundraising or organizational accomplishments, or if you traveled, focus on any cross-cultural communication or problem-solving skills you developed. [2] Emphasize transferable skills: Even if the experiences from your gap year don't directly relate to your career goals, they may have helped you develop transferable skills that are valuable in many industries. For example, if you learned a new language, emphasize your communication and adaptability skills, or if you worked on a farm, emphasize your physical stamina and problem-solving skills. [3] Use action verbs: When describing your experiences on your resume, use action verbs to show what you accomplished. This can help make your resume more dynamic and engaging. For example, use verbs like "managed," "led," "organized," "created," or "developed" to showcase your accomplishments. [4] Be honest and clear: Be honest and clear about the experiences you had during your gap year. If you took time off to travel, don't try to spin it as a work experience. Instead, be upfront about what you did and the skills you developed. Employers value honesty and transparency and being clear about your experiences can help them better understand your unique qualifications. Building a strong resume after a gap year requires a strategic approach that focuses on highlighting your achievements, emphasizing transferable skills, using action verbs, and being honest and clear about your experiences. Follow these strategies to
