Before you spend hours on crafting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/resume-experience-cv\/\">perfect resume<\/a>, you should really get into their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are <strong>8 resume attention grabbers <\/strong>that will help recruiters find the information are actually looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7;font-size:18px\">Join our freelancer community today! <br>Create your profile in just 2 minutes and start attracting new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/registration?ref=blog-com-cv-attention-grabbers\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#222222;background-color:#FCF2DB;border-color:#cac2b0;border-radius:20px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#222222;padding:0px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:32px;border-color:#fdf6e6;border-radius:20px;text-shadow:none\"> <strong>Sign up for free<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Tailored to the role or vacancy at hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest mistake you can make with a CV? Sending the same one over and over again. Every job has <b>key aspects<\/b>, things you should focus on. <b>Job experience<\/b> or other facts about your biography that are vital for one application could be completely unnecessary for another. Tailor you resume to the <b>focal points of a project<\/b>. That increases your chances that recruiters are going to see them in the short amount of time that they have for your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Include the most relevant keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the timeframe of six seconds, you can\u2019t look at a lot of stuff. But when recruiters <b>look for specific words or skills<\/b>, pressing CTRL+F to quickly look through the document is the easiest way to do it. And if they don\u2019t find the words they\u2019re looking for, they might just move to the next application. So<b> identify the relevant keywords<\/b> and make sure they\u2019re in your r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Clear formatting for an easy read<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things for a CV will be <b>structure<\/b>. Make sure people can see <b>at a glance what each section is about<\/b>. Separate <b>your education<\/b> from your <b>professional experience<\/b>. If you have a lot of previous experience, think about separating that into categories as well. Clear formatting is what allows recruiters to <b>quickly identify key areas<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Clickable to get further information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s 2017. A lot of your clients will accept a resume that is submitted online or sent via email. So don\u2019t be afraid to<strong> include links<\/strong>. Add your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/4-perfect-ways-for-freelancers-to-utilize-github\/\">GitHub profile<\/a> if you\u2019re a programmer who has interesting projects there. Include a link to your <strong>social presence<\/strong> if that\u2019s important to your business. <strong>Add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/freelance-website-marketing\/\">your website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make your CV clickable \u2013 that will encourage recruiters to check all those links out instead of having to google themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Recognizable clients\/employers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve worked with some impressive companies, make sure you highlight them. Big names make an impression on recruiters, especially if it\u2019s a <strong>respected company<\/strong> with good reputation in the industry. Recruiters with decent experience will also be able to notice patterns like \u201cpeople who work at company X tend to be accustomed to tight deadlines\u201d. So make sure they <strong>don\u2019t miss that big name and make it pop out<\/strong> with your formatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Check out spelling and grammar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard this tip a thousand times and are tired of it already, but it can\u2019t be stressed enough. Having a <strong>well-written resume <\/strong>isn\u2019t only about showing that you\u2019re \u201c<strong>good with words<\/strong>\u201d. In the time of auto correct, having spelling mistakes indicates that you\u2019re just being sloppy. You didn\u2019t bother to check that underlined word \u2013 which means you won\u2019t bother with small details at work either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Small, fun details to get to know you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201chobbies\u201d section of a resume is often scoffed at and ignored. Are you practicing some <strong>fun activity in your free time<\/strong>? Do you like to paint or play an instrument? Don\u2019t be afraid to share that. First of all, you might share that hobby with the recruiter or other people that are part of the company. And secondly, <strong>it makes you relatable.<\/strong> It shows that there is a real, interesting person behind the lines of text. That\u2019s something which recruiters might tend to forget when shuffling through tons of resume each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Special tip: IT recruiters \u2013 Skills rather than job titles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know a lot of our blog readers work in the IT industry, so here\u2019s a special tip for you: tech recruiters <strong>don\u2019t care about job titles as much as they do about skills<\/strong>. Show them what you can do and include examples if possible (preferably with links, see tip 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/registration?ref=blog-com-cv-attention-grabbers\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"297\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/cta-blog-freelancermap-sign-up.png\" alt=\"Looking for freelance projects?
