Here Are The Factors Hiring Managers Want In A Resume by AbdulAkpan: 6:58am On Feb 08, 2021
It is important to realize that hiring managers have factors that they look out for when reviewing resumes for available job vacancies. Some of those factors include; specifics, keywords, proof of impact, self-promotion.

After crafting your resume, review it and look out for specifics - go through the job description and check if you were specific enough when writing your resume. Being specific will attract the attention of the hiring manager.

After all, they have told you what they are looking for. It is only right that you give them proof of those qualities they are looking for.

You can make use of wordstream, SEMrush and wordtracker to search for related keywords when creating a resume to apply for jobs. Keywords are important because they let both the ATS and hiring manager know that you are a viable candidate for the job role.

What have you done in terms of that role? Yes, you may have some related experience, but what exactly have you achieved in that role? What problems have you solved? What innovative steps have you taken to improve on that role in the past?

You may be great at what you do, but are you bold enough to prove it to the hiring manager through your resume/cover letter? How good are you at self-promotion?

This is very important. When writing your resume, do not be modest about your career accomplishments. Promote yourself, sell your abilities!
