The CEO of a company specializing in helping senior- and executive-level candidates share some tips to make your résumé stand out
by job portal Indeed Canada shows 77 per cent of employers would hire a candidate based on soft or interpersonal skills and attitude, rather than job-related knowledge and hard skills.
“Valuable aptitudes: critical thinking, leadership, work ethic, adaptability, time management, attention to detail and an overall positive attitude are seen as more and more crucial to building productive teams and happy and successful work environments,” the report says. Soft skills are extremely important, Ms. Broos says. Her company typically assesses candidates’ soft skills during the interview process by probing on their accomplishments and how they garnered results, she says.Clear and concise. A résumé that’s more than one page, double sided, is too long. The rule holds true for everyone irrespective of their seniority.
Make sure you save your résumé with a good file name [for example, first and last name and company name]. This will help employers during the screening process.
