Why the content of your resume is so important
The content of a resume remains the number one selling point of the individual. Gone are the days when you could simply match a job description and get selected for an interview. These days, recruiters and employers want to see individualism and a real sense of purpose within the candidate’s application.
No matter what level of experience, a resume needs to demonstrate what they can bring to the employer in terms of skill sets, capability, and value add.
We use a Competency-Based Framework (CBF) model in all resumes.
A competency-based framework is the strategy we use to build the framework of a Resume, CV and/or LinkedIn profile. In fact, clients typically achieve 8-12x greater interview success using this strategy. Once we have identified those competencies, the next stage is to provide proven and demonstrated statements. The best strategy is to use the STAR (situation, task, action, result) method to extract qualified statements and then link these back into the CBF.
We need to transform bland and generic statements into powerful, qualified, and value-added information that will ensure your resume content is relevant, targeted, and presents you as a subject matter expert.
- Identify target market
- Analyse core competences
- Build the competency-based framework (CBF)
- Formulate content around this framework
