Recently sent out my resume to a few companies and got replies from 5—2 even called for interviews on the same day! Alhamdulillah, I’ve accepted one of the offers. 🎉
What I did differently? Tailored my resume for each job, kept it simple, added a short skills section with keywords from the job ad, and used action verbs to highlight achievements. Clean design and a professional photo helped too!
What about you guys? Any tips that worked to make your resume stand out? 😊

Tailoring your resume is definitely key. I’ve been doing something similar, keeping it simple and focusing on the key skills. I also started adding a small section at the top about my goals and what I’m looking for. Seems to help give context. Clean design and action verbs really do make a difference too!

Nice, congrats! Tailoring the resume really works wonders. I also started tweaking my cover letter for each job, adding a little more personal touch about why I’d be a great fit. Also, keeping things simple and straight to the point—no one has time to read paragraphs! Clean design is a must.

That’s awesome! I’ve been using action verbs too, plus I started including short bullet points for key achievements. Makes it easier to see impact at a glance. And yes, the clean design is so important. You want them to be able to find the key info without scrolling too much!
