Here are Pro-Business tips and strategies to boost your application and get noticed:
✅ 1. Tailor Your Resume for Every Job
Don’t use the same generic resume everywhere. Customize it to match the job description. Use keywords from the listing to show you’re a perfect fit.
✅ 2. Write a Powerful Cover Letter
Your cover letter isn’t just a formality—it’s a chance to tell your story. Focus on why you’re excited about the role and how you bring value to the company.
✅ 3. Showcase Achievements, Not Just Duties
Employers want to see results. Instead of saying “Handled customer service,” say “Resolved 95% of customer issues within 24 hours, increasing satisfaction by 20%.”
✅ 4. Keep It Clean and Professional
Use a clean format, bullet points, and professional fonts. A cluttered resume can cost you the job before it’s even read.
✅ 5. Build a Personal Brand Online
Having a polished LinkedIn profile (or portfolio site) makes you more credible. Recruiters WILL check. Make sure your online presence reflects your professional goals.
✅ 6. Follow Up!
Send a polite follow-up email a few days after applying. It shows interest, initiative, and professionalism.
✅ 6. Research the company?
You can use resources like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and the company’s website to gather information and gain insights into what it’s like to work there.
