However, something that is totally within everyone’s control is whether their resume is a serve or a flop.

The internet is full of people giving advice on the subject, and we’re highlighting some tips that a few TikTokers have shared about crafting the perfect resume.

Here are 7 ways that you can easily zhuzh up your resume.

Erica Rivera — a senior recruiter at Google who shares career advice through her TikTok, @careerdivacoaching — recently shared a post where she focused on different things that people should stop including in their resumes, and the objective statement was called out.

“Objective statement, gotta go. That was in 1970. We are in 2022,” she succinctly pointed out.

As the objective statement is a measly sentence that just parrots information from the job listing, axing it makes sense and feels more to-the-point.

Rivera also implored viewers to keep their work history relevant to the job they’re applying for.

“We don’t need your entire work history since you started your professional career. What we need to focus and hone in on is tailoring your search and resume to the role you’re applying for,” she said.

Finally, Rivera says that “weak action verbs” like “helped” and “was responsible for” aren’t making the cut.

Instead, she suggests replacing these weak words and phrases with stronger options, including “streamlined,” “implemented,” “strategized,” “managed” and “improved.”

Another user who goes by @andreaisawriter, the self-proclaimed “Career Priestess,” also shared a useful tip of her own on TikTok: getting creative with the skills you list.

“You are NOT lying by saying you have these skills because, just by showing up to a job, you have these,” she writes over the video.

The skills in question include health and safety management (from cleaning), process improvement (from being “human capital” as an employee) and client relationship building (from providing good customer service).

Similarly, a user who goes by @maddiemacho0o, aka “The Career Finesser,” points out that looking over the job listing and incorporating similar language into your skills section is a good way to impress recruiters.

She also acknowledges that a resume is a “living, breathing document” that should be tailored frequently, and this method is a good way of keeping it on point.

TikToker @armanigems, a pharmaceutical representative who shares career tips, created a video in which he acknowledged the importance of keeping your resumes to only 1 page.

While he acknowledged that this may be difficult, a 1-page resume is definitely standard, and any more is likely to be seen as overkill.

While keeping it brief, however, be sure to acknowledge some of your “professional highlights” from relevant jobs.

“This shows the interviewer the success that you’ve had in each role,” the TikToker pointed out.
