Make Your Resume Stand Out

When writing a resume, it is important to make it stand out. This will help you get to the interview stage instead of being ignored from the start. One way of standing out is by adding extras to your resume that are not asked for, but will support your job application.


Add Your Blog

If you write a blog regularly, consider adding this to your resume. Avoid controversial or ranting blogs; opt for content that helps others and shows off your skills. It is usually best to opt for a blog that links to the position that you are apply for. For example, if you are applying for a software developer position, it will be in your best interest in having a blog linked to software development, such as the history of it and the different languages.


Send Examples and Samples

One great way to stand out is to send examples of your work with the resume. This does depend on the role that you are applying for but is a great way to show that you are using your initiative and want to stand out from the rest. You could include a flash drive, a disk or just print outs of any work that you have done.


Include References

An employer will want a list of references to be able to contact, especially if one is considering taking your application further. Help the employer out by supplying a copy of the references with the resume instead – of course, still include names and contacts so the employer can verify them. This will show that you really are interested in the position and are willing to use your initiative to help the employer.


Include Printed Material

If you have had your name in the newspaper for reasons that are linked to the position that you are applying for, consider adding a copy to your resume. This will help you stand out for good reasons and will also help the employer put a face to the name.
