Let’s Talk About Resumes and Job Applications – What to Do and What to Avoid

✅What to DO (These actually work)

⏺Tell your story clearly.
Write in a simple and honest way. Explain what you did and what impact it had.

⏺Change your resume for each job.
Don’t send the same resume everywhere. Read the job post carefully and show how your skills match.

⏺Show results, not just tasks.
Look Instead of saying “Answered emails,” write “Answered 50+ customer emails something like this”

⏺Keep your format clean and simple.
Use easy-to-read fonts and short bullet points. Leave some space so it’s not crowded.

⏺Proofread before sending.
Check for spelling or grammar mistakes(Specially Email and Other Contact options). Read it out loud or ask someone you trust to review it.

🚫 What NOT to DO (These things don’t help)

⏺Don’t list every job you’ve ever had.
Only include jobs and experiences that are related to the one you’re applying for.

⏺Don’t add personal details.
You don’t need to include your age, photo, religion, or marital status. These are not needed.

⏺Don’t use overused words like “hardworking” or “team player.”
Instead, show how you are hardworking by sharing real examples from your past work.

⏺Don’t send 50 resumes with the same format.
It’s better to apply to fewer jobs but with a resume that fits each one well.

⏺Don’t worry about fancy design.
If your resume is clear and easy to read, that’s enough. You don’t need colors or graphics.

I think the don't parts are what we all did once but won’t anymore🙏
