Editor’s note: This article was first published in October 2011, during Spain’s economic crisis. Its remark that most candidates still send traditional résumés reflects that time.
When you’re looking for a job in the current crisis, it isn’t easy to land a face-to-face interview, because HR receives thousands of résumés from other candidates for a single vacancy. Clearly, you need to stand out positively from everyone else to get the job. But how do you stand out if they don’t give you the chance of an interview? The only option is to stand out before the interview, and you can do that with a good résumé: professional, original and eye-catching.
That’s where Resumesimo comes in, a résumé-building platform with excellent templates. On average, it takes about 10 minutes to create your résumé, and the end result is, obviously, a résumé that stands out from the rest, at least for now, while everyone else is still sending traditional résumés.
The service isn’t free, and I don’t know exactly what it will cost, but if the price isn’t too high, I’m sure it’s worth it, because, as we said, the presentation is excellent and the process is very simple.
Once you’ve created your résumé, you can download it in several formats, such as PDF or a traditional format, and you can also have your own online presentation. To try this tool, go to the Resumesimo website and follow the steps to create your résumé.
