Resume Recipe

Created by Mark Gelber, Monster staff

This simple resume recipe will make recruiters hungry for more!  Our step-by-step video shows you how to cook up a resume that hiring managers won’t be able to resist.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 targeted summary, tailored to the job
• 4 cups past employment history
• 1 lb quantifiable results (time or money preferred)
• 5-10 related skills
• Education, diced (1-3 lines per school)
• 2 tsp. fish sauce (optional)
• 2 cups keywords from job ad
• Honors and awards, to taste
• Readable sans-serif font

1. In a pot—or a word processing program—start with a brief summary that explains your experiences as they relate to the specific job for which you’re applying. Hiring professionals have sensitive palates and can often detect a generic application on sight
2. Combine the next four ingredients. Remember: Presentation matters, so use a resume template if you’re not sure if your style game is on point.
3. Add in the fish sauce (or not), and the rest of the ingredients—and definitely don’t forget those keywords. Employers can receive hundreds of resumes for a given job, and they’ll often use automated systems to find the resumes that are actually relevant. We’ve got some resume keyword tips if you need inspiration—but don’t overdo it. Stuffing your resume with keywords is like over-salting a perfectly good filet.
4. Reduce 10 minutes, then come back to proofread for spelling and grammar errors.
5. Voila! Your resume is ready and looks good enough to eat. (Editor’s note: Don’t actually eat your resume.)
