Here’s how you sell yourself on a resume:
1. Add skills listed in the job ad to your resume
Employers look for the specific skills they list in their job ads, so include them on your resume to make sure it isn’t overlooked.
2. Quantify your impact
Including hard numbers helps you provide evidence of your achievements. For example, if you’re applying for a job in social media management and you have 20,000 Twitter followers, list that number. It proves you can grow a social media account.
3. Place your top achievement in your resume summary
If you don’t catch the hiring manager’s attention at the beginning, they may stop reading and miss your top selling points.
