3 Creative Resume Tips rnI stumble on resume builder that creates your professional resume and show you how to make resume that lands you a job. I never thought you could be creative with your application and still make it look great without overdoing it. Here’s what I found: Things you need: You need a heavy high quality paper (best with watermark) and have an envelope with your crest or your initials if possible, don’t overdue it – keep it clean and professional. Note that follow-up letters should be with the same materials you used. Tip 1 You should send your application both through e-mail and snail mail, latter implies great benefits if it’s fitting. E-mail is the trend now a day which means that everyone is doing it but if you’ll send your hard copy it implies that you’re willing to take extra mile to get the job done and it will surely stand out especially with your quality application. Sometimes in applying for job, if everyone is doing it you should stay away from it. You got to think what makes your application stand out, and with special resume and some thought it can go a long way. Tip 2 Matching your paper and envelope make your application clean and professional. Hiring managers find colors annoying so use white papers to keep it classic and professional. Fonts should be clear and crisp, use laser printer. You should stay away from fancy fonts and keep it easy to read, Courier would do but Time Romans is overuse. You should always think how to make your resume stand out. This means your text should be expanded to make it clear and easy to skim since hiring managers spend only 15-30 seconds on your resume. You read that right, hiring managers doesn’t have all day to go through your application. Most of them skim for grammar errors, format, and keywords. Tip 3 Your watermark should be light, pleasant, distant, and in the right position. It should not interfere with your valuable content. Light grey should be perfect shade for your watermark and positioning is very important to avoid any destruction. If this doesn’t work for you, you could take this away. With your crest alone, your hard copy should look fantastic.
