Here's a checklist of 5 ways to make sure it stands out:
✅ Start with a Strong Header: Include your name, professional email address and a customized URL LinkedIn profile link.
✅ Time to Tell Your Story : Craft a compelling summary by showcasing your unique skills, achievements, and career goals in 2-3 sentences.
✅ Quantify Your Achievements: Standout by getting to the core of your ‘wow’ factor. Use numbers, percentages, or measurable results to show impact (ex., "Increased team productivity by 25%").
✅ Tailor for the Role: Use the job description of the role you’re applying to. Pull keywords and phrasing to highlight your relevant skills and experience.
✅ Format Cleanly: Stick to an easy-to-read format with consistent fonts, spacing, and bolding for emphasis. Always, always, always, check your grammar. My favorite tool is Grammarly.
