Issue 21 - Monday 2 June 2025

A generic resume gives rise to significant risks in todayʻs competitive job market.

Firstly, it lacks the benefit of personalisation, making it much easier for hiring teams to overlook. Employers continually search out candidates who demonstrate a clear alignment between their skills and the specific position requirements for an advertised role.

A one-size-fits-all ( OSFA ) approach is so outdated and fails to highlight relevant experiences and achievements, vastly diminishing an applicants chance of standing out. It can often be forgotten in the moments of excitement and nervous energy when submitting and application, that the primary goal of a resume is simply to attract enough curiosity, or priority in the case of AI ranking, to secure an interview.

Universal resumes can also convey a lack of effort or enthusiasm, thereby suggesting that the applicant is not genuinely interested in the position. This can then lead to assumptions about a candidates commitment and motivation.

In addition, OSFA resumes may fail dismally to incorporate industry specific keywords. These are now more crucial than ever for passing through AI powered resume screening tools to parse and evaluate candidate experience.

Applicant Tracking System ( ATS ) Software categorically filter through applications to check applicants meet the minimum requirements of a role, by location, skillset, qualifications or years of experience. This automated process then ranks applicants by relevance for recruiters.

Without the essential keywords, a perfectly suitable and experienced candidate’s application might well be filtered out before even reaching human eyes.

Tailoring your resume to each job application is the one essential key for effectively showcasing your qualifications and background, enhancing your chances of securing the all important face to face interview.

With that in mind, how is your resume looking ?
