The most important tools in writing a resume are Content of your resume, Presentation, Alignment, Your current job role description (It should not be in detail because recruiters don't have much time to read every single resume but some power words, key competencies and compansable factors should be mentioned in your resume), Quality of language matters a lot and words you pick to describe for yourself.

While applying for the position first thing you have to make sure that are you matching the job requirement ? If you are, then you can adjust or rephrase your resume according to the requirement of employer.

 

 

 

3. There are few Power Words or Hooker Words that grab attention of recruiters and

 

Headhunters and your CV falls below average in terms of attention-grabbing.
