Stronger resume. Higher score. More interviews.

First off, don’t choose the lazy way. Don’t use an AI app that promises to optimize your resume for a job posting. It won’t solve your resume’s underlying formatting problems. Companies are on the watch for AI fraud. Don’t use an app to fake or fool hiring companies.
A good resume will get you more interviews, but only when you go after suitable job opportunities. Your score will help you know if you’re a fit.
If you update your resume using these 5 ways, don’t forget to get it re-scored. Get an updated score PDF. It’s your proof of awesomeness.

1Headline, not objective

If you have an objective at the top, lose it. Replace it with an 8 - 15 word headline.
Instead of: “My objective as a licensed financial advisor is to grow my career to advance to a branch manager role or a back office administration role.”
Replace it with: “Over 10 years experience servicing high-net worth clients, as a licensed financial advisor.”

2Summary

Write 4-6 lines of text that showcase “What I Can Do For You” as a direct response to what’s asked for in the job posting.
You can use bullets or sentences, but stay at 4-6 lines.
Your best guarantee to get the reader paying attention to you is a powerful combination of headline and summary.

Tip: a resume is not about everything you have ever done - no one reading your resume has time. You get 3 seconds to attract initial interest, and a hard limit of 2 pages.

3Numeric results - no soft language

Whether you use a chronological style resume or a functional style, you must have numeric results. The human eye picks out numbers and percentages from a sea of text. See for yourself.

Reduced printing errors by 27% within 3 months.
Increased sales from $1.8 million to over $5 million in 6 years.
Managed a team of 7 to launch an online business unit in less than 6 months.

Again, everyone has numeric results!
