Begin 2026 with a professionally written résumé to submit to prospective employers that highlights your valuable experience and achievements. It is also important to have a strong, well-written LinkedIn profile because hiring managers read LinkedIn profiles and résumés and make hiring decisions based upon the content and quality of both documents. Even if you are not currently seeking a new professional role having a strong LinkedIn profile will elevate your professional image, allow industry leaders to notice your accomplishments, and help you secure a promotion.

The rѐsumѐs that I have created for my clients over the years are achievement-focused and results-driven. Most of the content is presented in bulleted sentences, so it is easy to read. I create high-impact and ATS-friendly rѐsumѐs. The high-impact version contains modern bullets, page and section borders, shading, and professional fonts that work well with applicant tracking systems. Sometimes, I also include a text box of a short testimonial statement written by a former boss.

The ATS-friendly version contains round bullets, and the page border and text box are eliminated. I also avoid word repetition and ensure the rѐsumѐ aligns with my client's target role. All of these factors have secured thousands of rewarding careers.

Create an appealing yet concise resume by using white space, professional fonts, and quantifying achievements. Make your resume stand out in the pile.

If you have recently been laid off it is important that you use social media to your advantage. I would recommend that you update and polish your LinkedIn profile and headline and include key achievements that align with your target role.

Recruiters and hiring managers will also be looking at your social media profiles. As a result, review all your social media pages and delete any unprofessional photos and content. In addition, remove and refrain from making any negative or critical comments about anyone or anything. Finally, upload a professional photo of yourself wearing interview clothes on LinkedIn and make sure your social media pages contain a good profile photo.

Helpful Advice by Nancy Hedrick, CPRW and Owner of The Professional Edge Rѐsumѐ & Business Services

If you cannot locate the hiring manager or recruiter to address your cover letter, research the company's website to search for possible hiring managers that align with the job title. Once you locate a potential name, conduct a LinkedIn search to further verify or inquire if they are the hiring manager for the position.

Another recommendation is to call the company and ask for the hiring department listed in the job announcement. When you speak with them mention that you are ready to submit your rѐsumѐ and cover letter to the hiring manager and you would like to address your letter to the appropriate individual. Hopefully, they will provide you with the information and be sure and ask for the title and correct spelling. If none of these suggestions work, find out the exact same details for the Human Resources Manager and address your cover letter to that individual. However, addressing your cover letter to a specific person will have far more impact than omitting a name and simply stating, “Dear Human Resources Manager.”

I hope these tips help you reach the right hiring manager and secure an interview with your target company!
