Written by CB Community

Marketing is all about presentation. It is this factor (among others) which acts as a ‘magnet’ of sorts, and attracts customers to buy a certain product or use a particular service.

And, most businesses nowadays will need a marketing team to effectively advertise their products or services and ‘steal the show’ from their competitors.

If you’re a considering a career as a marketing professional and you’re about to embark on the job hunt, you are no doubt aware of the importance of a resume. After all, a CV is the first thing that a recruiter sees.

Indeed, It’s the medium through which you can communicate your skills and experience to the recruiter.

Given your background in marketing, have you put any thought into how to really get your resume to stand out?

Conventional Wisdom

There are no shortage of websites out there offering ‘tips’ and advice when it comes to landing your dream job.

Some of the classics include:

  • You should never forget giving your contact information which can include your present contact number, email address, and correspondence address.
  • Your CV should have a summary which dictates the background of your professional work. Or, if you are just a novice entering the market, you would simply state your objective of applying for the job opening.
  • The presentation of your experience after the summary should be in a reverse-chronological order. 
  • Following the experience, there is a need to provide educational background in the reverse-chronological order.
  • Apart from these, you can add all the certifications that you have received including any awards or distinctions.

Every website is going to tell you these 5 basics things. Yes, they hold immense importance, but even if a CV has all these elements, it is still likely to wind up in a trash can (digital or otherwise).
