We’re almost a full month into 2022, and Fidelity is hiring now for open roles across the country. Now is the perfect time to get your resume in tip-top shape as you fill out that job application you’ve been eyeing.
While resumes are the best way to list your experience and show off your skillset in an application, it can be challenging to stand out when the job market is so competitive. What advice do we have to help stand out bit further? Try these 3 tips you may not have considered to help your resume pop in 2022.
- 1. List your hobbies and passions outside of work. While it’s key to list out your expertise and experience on your resume, providing some additional insight into yourself can help you stand out. Consider listing out leisure activities, such as hiking, traveling, writing or volunteering. You never know who’s eye you might catch on the receiving end of your resume, especially when you can help better paint a picture of your personality.
- 2. Be specific. Stating your responsibilities is important, but what did you accomplish? If you can add specific milestones or even some sort of measurable item, such as a statistic, it can provide additional insight for a recruiter.
- 3. Be versatile. Your skills and attributes may differ depending on the job you are applying for. Consider having a few different versions of your resume that best fit the job you are applying to. You may want to adjust your listed skills and prioritize the order depending on the role you are seeking.
