A simple plan to format your resume is to align it with the sections on Indeed. Focus on skills and examples of how you have used them to produce positive results. And don't forget to proofread a bunch! This approach will give you a framework and make it simple to apply for positions. Of course, Resu-mazing can help! That's what we do.

We have been hearing the L-word - "layoff" - from more clients over the past several weeks. Is your resume current? Have you captured your personal performance information and brought it home? Do you have copies of your annual reviews at home? Layoffs come, in part, from a herd mentality among employers. Be ready.

TIP: When sending an email - intro, follow-up, or whatever - as part of your search, fill in the "To:" line on your email last. Be sure your writing is error free, your attachments are attached, and all is ready to keep building your professional reputation. When all is great, THEN fill in the To: and cc: info. Don't take unforced errors.

The contact information on your resume should include your town/city of residence, your phone number, and your email address. We have seen three resumes this week without the location included, and this can cause applicant tracking systems to exclude the resume from consideration. Some employers want to know you are a commutable distance to the job.

When writing your resume, it is best to stick with basic section headers that will be understood by applicant tracking systems. "Skills" is better than "Areas of Expertise," because dominant ATS apps and platforms like Indeed and LinkedIn call it "Skills." Keep it simple to better feed the machine and be found for your next job.

Take time between now and the end of the year to gather your performance highlights. What went well in '22? How did you make a difference? What quantitative and qualitative information is available to show your impact? You can use this for your self-assessment on your annual review AND your resume.

Resumes need sufficient detail about skills, responsibilities, and results to help recruiters understand what you offer. This detail helps you differentiate yourself from competitors. "Resume Lite," a single page of 300 - 400 words often is not sufficient. Brag a little. Tell us what makes you special. Gives the talent acquisition people something to get excited about. Otherwise, yours will be the generic that gets no attention.
