The job market is more competitive today than it’s ever been before. Whenever you apply for an open position, it’s safe to assume that dozens if not hundreds of other people are applying for the exact same position as well.
You’ll need an excellent resume in order to stand out from the competition. But writing effective resumes can be hard — you must elaborate enough on your background and skill set to impress prospective employers, yet you also need to be concise enough to make sure a hiring manager adds you to the “yes” pile quickly.
You should also be concerned about your resume’s design. Many employers now use applicant tracking system (ATS) software to automate the initial stage of the hiring process.
