Resume Tips

  • Keep it to 1-2 pages — employers spend seconds scanning, not minutes reading.
  • Lead with impact, not duties. Instead of "Responsible for managing inventory," write "Reduced inventory shortages by 20% through improved stock tracking."
  • Tailor it per application — highlight the skills/experience most relevant to that specific job posting.
  • Include measurable results wherever possible — numbers stand out (sales figures, team size managed, projects completed).
  • List skills employers are actually searching for in your sector — check similar job postings on talent.gy for language/keywords to include.
  • Proofread carefully — typos are one of the fastest ways to get filtered out.
  • Not sure where to start? Use the Resume Builder at the top of the page.
