Reasons why resumes fail

Knowing how the recruitment process works is critical...

Is your resume getting past the Robots?

Most companies these days use ‘Robots’ (an ATS [Applicant Tracking System] or software to Parse which extracts data and imports into a candidate record) to manage the high volume of incoming resumes. If your resume is not ATS friendly your resume may not be considered at all!

Formatting just as important as content

Resume content shows you can do the job, but a poorly formatted resume means you are often never considered. Issues include your CV being incorrectly parsed and/or being ranked too low by the robots. Many resumes still fail even if they make it this far due to layout issues.

The tips and tricks to help you succeed

With a successful 20 year background in recruitment, we have some insider tips from a recruiters perspective we share with our clients to help them achieve greater success through the job hunting minefield. This includes Cover Letter tips and LinkedIn strategies we share to help you further.

How many more jobs are you potentially missing out on...

Recruiters Heat Map eye tracking your resume

6 Seconds to make a 1st impression

Recruiters will spend as little as 6 seconds initially scanning your resume. With 100 to 200+ applicants per job, they look for reasons to reject candidates so they can then concentrate on the ones they think are best matched. A poorly formatted resume gives them a reason to overlook you.

The little things make a big difference

The font and sizes you use, paragraph, line and page breaks are easy to get wrong. Even page margins, headers and footers can be the cause of your resume not being properly considered. Not to mention section breaks, embedded tables, icons or images and other design issues.

Yes it is simple...simple to get it wrong!

Your resume is often the first point of contact in the job hunt. Get this right and your odds of success rise dramatically. Think of the Pareto Principle; only 20% of applicants will get more than a few seconds deliberation. It seems so simple, yet it is so massively important to get it right first time.

Let us make your resume the best 1st impression...

Tapping into 20 years of recruitment and resume experience

"Ridiculously efficient" comes to mind when I think about Bruce.  His support was invaluable and almost immediate.  Within 24 hours of my initial contact, I had a whole new perspective on what recruiters look for and a suite of hacks to make sure my resume was a standout.  In a meeting yesterday with a company, the recruiter commented on how well my resume was presented and the fact that it was sent in both a Word and PDF copy was "like gold to recruiters".   I really appreciate Bruce's expertise and I highly recommend tapping into his 20 years of experience.

Thanks for all your help.

Helped me update my cover letter technique to get me noticed

I met Bruce through a mutual contact he had already successfully placed into their current role and asked him to review my resume and give me some help in regards to my cover letter writing.

Using his experience in the field, Bruce quickly re-formatted my resume to help me pass the ‘6 second’ check most recruiters use and has helped me update my cover letter technique to get me noticed and pinpoint my skills set in a tailored approach to each job I apply for.

Bruce has been constantly available every step of the way, with follow up calls and answering any queries I have about the recruitment process, which has helped me secure interviews during an extremely tough economic time.

I would recommend Bruce and Format My Resume to all my contacts who are looking for a genuine and effective recruitment and resume service!

Thanks again for all your help, you have been the only recruiter I have ever worked with who is always accessible and always follows up and answers my questions, not leave me hanging!

found him to be extremely helpful as he took the time to explain…

From past experience I have found that a lot of recruiters don't spend much time with each candidate and I feel that resume service providers also do the same, they quickly move from one candidate/customer to the next.

However, I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call back from Bruce after I reached his voicemail. I engaged Bruce to help me with my resume and found him to be extremely helpful as he took the time to explain exactly what 'Format My Resume' would provide. He also took the time to explain the changes and why they were made, over the phone. Additionally, I was also given some honest and constructive feedback on what recruiters look for as Bruce himself being a recruiter was able to do this with his 'recruiter hat' on.

I strongly believe in building relationships, customer service and human experience, and I could see these come through from the very beginning.

Thanks again Bruce, you have been a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services!

Happy with the subtle changes when he explained the reasons behind them

I was referred to Bruce to get some input into my resume, as I have been in current role/organisation for a number of years and wanted to make sure I was giving myself the best possible chance of landing my next role. While the changes he made were not significant compared to my original resume, I was happy with the subtle changes when he explained the reasons behind them. I understand it can be the smallest of issues that can cost you being considered for the job.

I got two call-backs within a week after engaging Format My Resume

Having been referred to Bruce four years ago by a mutual friend, Bruce was upfront and clear that the role I was pursuing had already been shortlisted. Then for the next 45 minutes he informed me on how the Recruitment Industry works and ways to be remembered, not just the standard "We will retain your information for future opportunities" line we often hear. All without any consideration for what’s in it for HIM...

Years later, COVID-19 impacts jobs and I again contacted Bruce through ‘"Format My Resume" and he again provided insights into the job market that helped me pivot my search approach.

After four weeks of more “unfortunately...unsuccessful” responses, I got two call-backs within a week after engaging Format My Resume to work on my CV. For anyone stagnating in their job search I highly recommend you tap in to this resume formatting service to revise your approach with some expert perspectives Bruce offers. It was the best hour’s wage I spent!

Not sure if it was magic but I got a job almost immediately

I don't know if it was the reformatted resume, using the cover letter template, or just coincidence, but I had immediate success after using Format My Resume.

Out of touch with an effective resume

As someone who has not had to enter the job market for nearly 20 years, I was out of touch with what an effective resume should look like and how critical this now is. What I found out was there are hundreds of applicants for most roles, so getting an HR Manager or Recruitment Agent to spend any time reviewing my resume was the key. Format My Resume was able to provide a cleanly formatted resume with the layout that works.

I was happy but surprised when the very first role I sent my revised resume to requested me for an interview. Bruce has a great understanding of the job market and how to best position and present me for opportunities appropriate to my seniority. I am sure his advice and reformatting of my resume was the key to my recent success in obtaining my new role. Thanks.

    From past experience I have found that a lot of recruiters don't spend much time with each candidate and I feel that resume service providers also do the same, they quickly move from one candidate/customer to the next. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call back from Bruce after I reached his voicemail. I engaged Bruce to help me with my resume and found him to be extremely helpful as he took the time to explain exactly what 'Format My Resume' would provide. He also took the time to explain the changes and why they were made, over the phone. Additionally, I was also given some honest and constructive feedback on what recruiters look for as Bruce himself being a recruiter was able to do this with his 'recruiter hat' on. I strongly believe in building relationships, customer service and human experience, and I could see these come through from the very beginning. Thanks again Bruce, you have been a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services!

    Bruce has a keen eye for detail and assisted me in formatting my Resume to be clear and concise. His ability to translate all of the relevant experience in a clear and easy to follow manner is outstanding. Bruce also further assisted me with providing some great examples of cover letters to include as templates to further assist in addition to the Resume. I cannot recommend his services enough to assist in providing that edge especially in today’s climate with the sheer volume of applicants going for the same job. Bruce’s professionalism shines through with much-needed guidance post the changes to ensure you are comfortable with the changes and the rationale behind these.

    "Ridiculously efficient" comes to mind when I think about Bruce.  His support was invaluable and almost immediate.  Within 24 hours of my initial contact, I had a whole new perspective on what recruiters look for and a suite of hacks to make sure my resume was a standout.  In a meeting yesterday with a company, the recruiter commented on how well my resume was presented and the fact that it was sent in both a Word and PDF copy was "like gold to recruiters".   I really appreciate Bruce's expertise and I highly recommend tapping into his 20 years of experience. Thanks for all your help.

    As an Australian resident returning back home after a few years working in Asia, I wanted to make sure my resume was hitting the mark for Australian recruiters. I found Format My Resume through LinkedIn when looking for recommended recruiters, and was very happy to see Bruce was both an experienced recruiter, so knew what he was talking about, as well as the driving force behind Format My Resume. Great service, great outcome, great tips. Recommended.

    I was referred to Bruce to get some input into my resume, as I have been in current role/organisation for a number of years and wanted to make sure I was giving myself the best possible chance of landing my next role. While the changes he made were not significant compared to my original resume, I was happy with the subtle changes when he explained the reasons behind them. I understand it can be the smallest of issues that can cost you being considered for the job.

    I don't know if it was the reformatted resume, using the cover letter template, or just coincidence, but I had immediate success after using Format My Resume. Having not applied for a job for many years it was taking longer to get any traction and I was getting frustrated. I am not sure if it was magic but I got a job almost immediately. In fact, the very next job I applied for after Bruce worked on my resume I was asked in for an interview. His interview tips were also invaluable and I am sure they helped me land the job. Thank you, Bruce, and Format My Resume! xxx

    I met Bruce through a mutual contact he had already successfully placed into their current role and asked him to review my resume and give me some help in regards to my cover letter writing. Using his experience in the field, Bruce quickly re-formatted my resume to help me pass the ‘6 second’ check most recruiters use and has helped me update my cover letter technique to get me noticed and pinpoint my skills set in a tailored approach to each job I apply for. Bruce has been constantly available every step of the way, with follow up calls and answering any queries I have about the recruitment process, which has helped me secure interviews during an extremely tough economic time. I would recommend Bruce and Format My Resume to all my contacts who are looking for a genuine and effective recruitment and resume service! Thanks again for all your help, you have been the only recruiter I have ever worked with who is always accessible and always follows up and answers my questions, not leave me hanging!
