Important: Tips for Applicants As a hiring manager, I recently posted two job openings on LinkedIn: Recruiter and Truck Dispatcher. Unfortunately, I noticed that: 50% of applicants lacked relevant US market experience. Many resumes were incorrectly formatted or incomplete. Several applications were flagged as potential spams. To improve the hiring process, I'd like to share the following tips: For Applicants: 1. Carefully read the job description to ensure you meet the requirements. 2. Use a professional email address (not generic or numbered). 3. Format your resume correctly: - Include your name and relevant job title (e.g., "HR Professional"). - Clearly outline your experience and skills. 4. Proofread your application for spelling and grammar errors. Best Practices for Resume Formatting: 1. Use a clear, concise font (e.g., Arial, Calibri). 2. Include: - Full name - Professional summary/objective - Relevant work experience - Education and certifications - Contact information 3. Avoid: - Generic file names (e.g., "Resume.docx") - Numbered or coded file names, otherwise your email hit in the spam mails, and no one gonna notice it Let's Work Together: By following these guidelines, we can streamline the hiring process, reduce scams, and find the best candidates for the job.

3 Reasons You Aren't Hearing Back from Recruiters 1. Your CV is Weak or Poorly Written – A strong, well-organised CV is crucial for making a great first impression. 2. Lack of Relevant Experience or Skills – Recruiters prioritise candidates with experience and skills that closely match the role requirements. 3. Disqualification Due to Location or Other Factors – Sometimes, factors like proximity to the workplace can influence hiring decisions especially with this current economy quagmire. Incorrect contact information on your CV or a poorly written cover letter could also be affecting your chances. Need help improving your CV, cover letter, or overall job application?

A crucial tip for candidates applying to job openings: 💡 Please update your resume to reflect your current work situation as of TODAY before hitting submit on that application! ⁉ We've been getting a lot of resumes lately from candidates appearing to still be employed, when they were laid off months ago. We've also gotten several resumes with multiple recent positions missing. 📣 This is so misleading to recruiters who take the time to reach out to you to help with your job search. Missing positions or inaccurate experience can lead to both your time and your recruiter's time being wasted. It also negatively affects your credibility regarding your experience! With that said, if you don't have the time to update your resume or would like some advice on the best way to format your experience in order to catch the eye of a hiring manager ➡ drop me a message! #construction #constructionrecruitment #constructionjobs #jobs #hiring #hiringnow #resumes #apply

Josh, you make an excellent point - resumes should showcase achievements and quantifiable impact, not just recite job descriptions. Far too often, candidates fall into the trap of simply listing their daily responsibilities instead of highlighting their unique contributions. The examples you provide illustrate the stark difference between the two approaches. The revised bullet points shift the focus from generic duties to specific, measurable results. This gives the reader a clear understanding of the value you brought to the role. Key things to emphasize: - Quantify your accomplishments - percentages, numbers, metrics that demonstrate the positive impact you had. - Speak to how you improved processes, increased efficiency, or drove growth. - Frame your successes in a way that emphasizes your unique skills and problem-solving abilities. Rather than just regurgitating a job description, this approach turns your resume into a compelling narrative that sells your candidacy. It allows the reader to envision how you can bring that same level of tangible impact to their organization. Your advice is spot-on - resumes should not read like generic job postings. They need to showcase the distinctive value you offer as an individual. By focusing on your achievements and their measurable outcomes, you create a resume that is far more engaging and memorable. This is such an important distinction, and your guidance will help job seekers craft resumes that truly set them apart from the competition. Thank you for this insightful recommendation to transform resumes from mundane lists to impactful success stories.

🛑 Stop making your resume read like a job description! 🛑 Most resumes list job responsibilities, which can be guessed from your job title. Instead of bullet points on daily tasks, focus on specific achievements where you added value, improved processes, or increased efficiency. As an example, consider the following: ➡ From: Managed a team of Account Executives. ➡ To: Led a team of 12 Account Executives and drove an increase in regional sales by 34%, achieving 125% quota achievement in the first year. - OR - ➡ From: Handled customer service operations, including responding to customer inquiries and managing customer complaints. ➡ To: Revitalized customer service protocols, reducing response times by 40% and improving customer satisfaction ratings by 35% through proactive issue resolution strategies. A resume that showcases how you’ve made a difference is more compelling than one that merely lists your job duties. Make your resume a narrative focused on the distinctive impact you've had, not just a copy/paste of a job description. #RecruitingLife #ResumeTips #JobSearch
