5 Tips to Help You Stand Out to KCLC Recruiters

Maybe you’re in the middle of a long, exhausting job hunt right now. Maybe you’re getting ready to start a new one down the road. Either way, you’re not alone. It’s a popular time to be looking for a new opportunity.

The first step to reaching the next stop on your career journey and landing the job of your dreams is getting noticed and chosen to move forward by a recruiter. In a crowded field of candidates, that’s easier said than done. Recruiters are busy people, with a vast quantity of options to consider and filter in or out for any given role. The good news is there are some small, easy ways you can make yourself truly shine. Read on for 5 tips to help you stand out to our recruiters.

Show how beautifully you’ll fit

It can be tempting to put together a one-size-fits-all resume to upload and forget about across all of the jobs you apply for. Unfortunately, that won’t help your prospects. Every position is unique, and our recruiters are skilled at understanding what to look for to find the right match. Specifically tailoring your resume to emphasize the skills and experience that are relevant to the job will put you at an advantage from the start.

Choose simplicity, always

There’s no way for our recruiters to know you have the right qualities for a role if they can’t find them in your application. When crafting your resume and/or cover letter, ensure that everything you write is clear and concise. Opt for simple over elaborate when it comes to formatting. Rather than include every responsibility you’ve had at every company you’ve worked at, choose only those that add value to your candidacy. Keeping your application materials short and sweet can make all the difference.

Be sure to share why you’re special

You know all those amazing things you’ve accomplished? All the goals you’ve reached, and all the times your hard work has paid off? Don’t forget to mention them in your application. Highlighting your career highs can help our recruiters see that you are exactly the type of wonderful, rock star candidate that any organization would be lucky to bring on board.

Make LinkedIn your newest friend

LinkedIn is one of the few ways our recruiters can learn more about you outside of your application, so you should make sure your profile would give them a great impression. Fill it out with your skills and experience. Take the opportunity to add a headline and summary that accurately reflects your career and your whole self. Choose a profile picture that’s bright and professional. At the very least, you will be covering all your bases.

Communication is everything

This tip is the easiest, but it might be the most important. Be proactive and responsive at every turn. There’s no better way to show you are genuinely interested in the job you’re applying for and eager to be the candidate that runs with it.

We hope this advice helps you feel confident in yourself as you seek out your new path and build a brilliant future. We believe in you!
