As a seasoned Talent Acquisition Specialist in the multifamily industry, I’ve seen my fair share of resumes – some eye catchers and some not! If you’re looking for ways to improve your resume so it stands out to hiring authorities, here’s some tips:

???? Clarity is Key: Your resume should be pleasing to look at and easy to read and understand. Think bullet points… not lengthy paragraphs!

???? Highlight Property/Portfolio Management Details: Provide specific details about the properties or portfolios you’ve managed… Class, type, unit count, size of team, etc.

???? Quantify Your Achievements: Provide concrete examples of your accomplishments whenever possible. Numbers can help illustrate your impact. For instance, don’t just say “Increased Occupancy”. Instead, say “Increased Occupancy from ___% to ___% in ___ months by utilizing ____”.

???? Address Job Hopping: If you have had multiple short-term positions, consider explaining the reasons for leaving each role.

???? Attention to Detail: Proofread your resume carefully to avoid any mistakes. Then ask someone else to proofread it as well. Your resume is a direct reflection of you, so make that first impression a good one!

???? Be Consistent: Ensure that your resume matches your LinkedIn profile. This includes companies, dates, and position titles. Hiring Authorities WILL check & compare! We have had great candidates not get to the interview process because their resumes & LI profiles don’t match up.

???? Honesty Matters: Be honest and truthful in your resume. Integrity is important in the hiring process.

???? Consider Using a Resume Writing Service: If you’re struggling to craft a standout resume, don’t hesitate to enlist the help of a professional resume writing service. They can provide valuable insights and expertise to make your resume shine.

Remember, your resume is your key to being noticed by potential employers. By following these tips, you can improve your chances of standing out in a competitive job market. Best of luck on your job search journey! ????
