What do employers look for on a resume?

Employers are interested in two things: are you qualified for the job and are you a good cultural fit?

Employers turn to your resume to answer that first question — are you qualified for the job? They’ll look for the following information on your resume:

• Do you have experience? For example, if you apply for a sales job, an employer wants to see proof of your people skills and customer service experience on your resume.
• Are you reliable? It can take months to find the best-qualified candidate. That’s why most hiring managers check your resume for long-term commitments to your previous jobs before they consider you.
• Is your resume organized? None of the previous information matters if your resume is disorganized and difficult to understand. We auto-format every section of your resume so you can focus on how to find your next job.

Do I need a different resume for every different job application?

Absolutely! Every job is unique and requires a specific set of skills and experience. It is your job to craft a unique resume that matches your professional abilities and accomplishments to the needs of each job.

We help you build a resume that lines up with each job, suggesting hundreds of skills and accomplishments for you to customize to your work history.

Do I need a cover letter for my resume?

Not every hiring manager will read your cover letter, but those who do say that a well-written cover letter played a significant role in their hiring decision. A cover letter may increase your odds of landing a job because it gives you the chance to clarify and expand on the summarized accomplishments of your resume.
