On a daily basis, you try your best to look good. Whether it’s with meeting with friends or going out on a date, you put your best foot forward, both physically and mentally. Why not do the same thing for your résumé? You want to stand out when you go on an interview…even more so than just a casual outing. Brag a little! You dress professionally so why not dress up your résumé. Your résumé shows your ability to be professional (in terms of the format you use) as well as your education and experiences in the workforce. The résumé shows who you are as a person to the employer and you want to have one that plumps up your aptitude. That not only includes the format, but also how you specifically word your tasks from previous jobs. You want to stand out by highlighting what you did.  Use strong action verbs or adjectives to describe your responsibilities. You may have a generic résumé, but that is what many people have and there are so many others that are applying for the same jobs. Take the time out to look online for help on writing a résumé or get books on résumé /cover letters. Also you can get a professional résumé writer to help you! Don’t be just any turkey…spread out your peacock feathers and show these employers what you’ve got!
