Hi Kerem,
Thank you for reaching out to me on our Insider platform. I'm glad to connect with you.
I understand how daunting it can sometimes be to stand out in such an innovative and evolving industry. As a Talent Acquisition professional, I review a high volume of applications regularly, and I can tell you that what stands out is an impactful and well-structured resume.
A resume should clearly highlight why you are the ideal candidate for the opportunity and should be customized for the specific role you are interested in, emphasizing your skills and achievements. Taking this initiative not only demonstrates your relevance for the application but also showcases your drive and motivation for the position.
And here’s a little tip: start each bullet point with strong action verbs for example like “Achieved,” “Led,” or “Completed.” It really adds impact and helps convey your strengths nicely.
Remember, you’ve got this! I hope this information is helpful, and my fellow insiders and I are always glad to help!
