11 Mar Google explains how to write a killer resume
If you were to get resume advice from anyone who would it be?
How about Google’s Director of Talent, Kyle Ewing? The company receives literally millions of resumes a year, and a real, live person reads every single one.
Here’s what Ewing says are the four most important points to writing “a killer resume:”
- Emphasize your impact, outline the results you’ve achieved, and use data to back that story up.
- Read the job description closely to take away language you should mimic in your resume.
- Be very specific about what you can contribute to this particular organization.
- And, of course, celebrate all your experience — which, depending on how many years you’ve been in the job market, might be past employment, but can also include schooling, project work, volunteering or side hustles.
As a recruiter at Prestige Scientific, I read and hear a lot of resume advice, but this struck me as particularly on point. And if it’s good enough for the high standards of Google, chances are, it’s universally good advice.
