Among the many benefits ProTrain students are afforded is the resume review. Resume reviews are critically important for students who are already working and looking to convert their new certifications into new employment opportunities. But even students working on landing that first job can benefit from a review.
A Basic Definition
A resume review is not required after completing online certification training through ProTrain. But we do recommend it to students looking to secure better jobs. If you are not sure what a resume review is, think of it as a way to make your resume better with the help of industry professionals.
A resume review is essentially an in-depth look at your resume. It is conducted by a career advisor or an industry professional. The adviser or professional thoroughly reads your resume and then offers positive feedback on how you can improve it. The goal is to make your resume as effective as possible for landing that job or internship you have your eye on.
A good review looks at:
- Structure – Structuring a resume in a certain way makes it easier to read and understand. It offers key information in a clear and concise way.
- Wording – Effective wording reaches employers in the same language that they normally speak on the job. Knowing how to address employers is critical to impressing them.
- Formatting – Document formatting influences the impact of a resume. HR professionals can quickly find the key details thanks to the formatting. It makes the text easier to scan and digest.
Of course, spelling and grammar are big components in the resume review. The last thing you want is to go through the trouble of earning the most demanded certifications in your industry only to present a document filled with spelling and grammar errors.
Why We Recommend the Review
The whole point of offering resume reviews is to help you increase your chances of turning your certifications into better job opportunities. But let’s dig a little deeper. Why the resume review and not some other service? This is what a resume review can accomplish:
- Identify Strengths and Weaknesses – A reviewer analyzes all the skills, achievements, etc., presented in a resume. Strengths and weaknesses are identified so that the student can improve their presentation.
- More Clarity and Impact – Resume reviews are intended to improve both clarity and impact. The more impactful a resume is, the more likely a student is to see the desired results.
- Optimized for Technology – Modern employees are likely to use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to process resumes and applications. A competent reviewer knows how to optimize resumes for ATS review.
- Tailoring to Need – A resume review can help students learn how to tailor their resumes to specific job openings. Resume tailoring increases the chances of getting hired because it makes a student’s resume stand out from the rest.
The many benefits of the resume review work together to give students more confidence as they apply for jobs and internships. Indeed, why not take advantage of everything a resume review offers?
