Sending out generic resumes to dozens of companies never worked in the past, and it especially won\u2019t work in today\u2019s job searching climate. However, you may have just spent hundreds of dollars on a professionally crafted resume or spent as many hours creating one yourself and cannot invest that much time or money on one for every position for which you are applying. So, how do you take your final executive resume and use it to apply for multiple jobs, let alone match it to various job descriptions? Here are some tips to consider when writing those resumes.<\/p>\n

Target Each Company<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When writing an executive resume, you need to remember to target the company you\u2019re applying to and include relevant information to them. To a point, the company doesn\u2019t care what you\u2019ve done in the past as much as they care about what you can do for them in the future. They want to know what you bring to the table specifically for them and want to get the sense you truly want to work for them.\u00a0Identify their needs and clearly explain why you are the best candidate to solve those needs. You can accomplish this by highlighting your achievements that are relevant to their needs in your cover letter. You can also incorporate specific accomplishments in your resume that would be transferable to their industry.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be much more likely to get a response from an employer when they can clearly see you\u2019ve done your homework on them.<\/p>\n

Locate Appropriate Keywords<\/h4>\n

The same types of jobs will have different job descriptions. In a world where every resume has to pass through ATS to get into the hands of a human, you have to use the right keywords for each job posting. The best professional resume writers<\/a> will read through the entire description and pick out all the soft skills, hard skills, and job-specific skills listed. These keywords should describe the particular candidate the employer is looking for, as well as the strengths and skills you possess. Once you identify them all, plug them into your resume as high on the page as possible. Include as many keywords as you can but be careful not to stuff too many of them in to make it sound unnatural.<\/p>\n

Add Statistics<\/h4>\n

Take these keywords to the next level and add an eye-catching statistic, whenever possible. Hiring managers like to see percentages or dollar amounts on a resume because it puts your words into perspective and makes you sound much more credible and specific. Simply saying you boosted your company\u2019s bottom line the past three years doesn\u2019t have the same type of impact as saying you increased the bottom line by 10% one year, 13% the next year, and 15% the following year. Your\u00a0executive resume service<\/a>\u00a0will ask you to provide them with these statistics so they can incorporate them throughout the resume as appropriate.<\/p>\n

Tailor Your Skills to the Company\u2019s Requirements<\/h4>\n

Do some research on the company\u2019s website before altering your resume. You may be able to identify their areas of need, challenges, culture, and how you can enhance or fit into them. Companies and hiring managers don\u2019t necessarily care what you did at your previous jobs. They just want to know what value you will provide their company. You\u2019ll be much more likely to get a response from an employer when they can clearly see you\u2019ve done your homework on them.<\/p>\n

Think About How a Potential Employer Reads Your Resume<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s easy to talk about your past experiences and accomplishments, but the biggest mistake professionals make is talking about previous achievements that aren\u2019t relevant to the job they are applying for. When writing an effective resume, you have to write it while thinking about how a potential employer will read it. They want to see what value you bring to the table specifically for their company, and don\u2019t necessarily care about anything else.<\/p>\n

Discover What You Truly Want From a Job<\/h4>\n

A common misconception about writing an effective resume is it should be more general instead of focused. The idea is the more general your resume is the better your chances are of landing another open position, even if you don\u2019t qualify for the one you really want. This can lead to a sloppy resume and an unfocused job search effort. Taking the time to truly discover what you want from a job, from a salary standpoint, cultural standpoint, work\/life balance, and more will help you target your resume.<\/p>\n
