Your resume doesn’t need to be flashy — it needs to clearly show what you can do. Here’s a simple way to tailor it: 1. Start with a short summary Share who you are, what you’re aiming for, and the value you bring. 2. Use ATS-friendly keywords Match the words in the job ad so your resume is easier to read by hiring systems. 3. Highlight unique skills Think about communication, teamwork, reliability, problem-solving, or anything you’ve learned through school, volunteering, work experience, or support programs. 4. Include measurable results Where you can, add numbers or outcomes. For example: helped organise 20 files, supported 5 customers, or completed 3 weeks of work placement. 5. Show your personal brand Keep your resume clear, consistent, and true to you. 6. Keep it relevant Only include details that support the role you want. Small changes can make a big difference.
