A Professional Distinct Resume pulls us out of the Rat Race. We intend to create our resumes to fast-tack our shortlisting by improving our visibility. This helps us reach our career goals faster and paves new ways for other possibilities.

While we may always have passive ways to work on our resume, I found great help with this free resume analysis tool — https://www.mentorrd.com/resume-analysis/
and also a book that I resorted to — https://www.mentorrd.com/resources/

There are certain takeaways that helped me realize the common resume mistakes that could be avoided , and those I would like to share with you all basis my experience with Mentorrd Resume and Professional Grooming Services which is as follows:

  • Word Limit — I got to know that most good resumes contain a total of 400–700 words based on our years of experience. A report was pulled out from the tool that helped me analyse word usage, uniqueness and information content of my resume.
  • Word Type — I could understand the importance of having power words and achievements in my resume. Usage of right words with active verb or words containing numbers, percentages, awards, recognition etc quickly catch recruiter’s attention.
  • Skill Set Analysis — My learning on this end was that one needs to critically self analyse their skill set match with the job applied for and not simply not include words in a disconnected manner. My Resume was claimed to be analysed against 11 critical skills valued by Mentorrd. Signalling words were also recommended by the tool , to be included in my resume as per my skillset.
  • Resume based Job Interview Questions — On this front, I realized that it is very important to review your resume and deduce a set of probable questions that could be asked by the interviewer. I was provided an offline report by Mentorrd for the same.

Thus, to summarize, the above experience has helped me better my resume, improved chances of shortlisting and prepared me well for the upcoming interviews, I would suggest you to begin your resume building and analysis by visiting — https://www.mentorrd.com/resume-builder/ and then continue exploring whatever that would work for you the best from the services that this Mentorrd website offers !!

All the Best Folks !

Cheers !
