6 Tips for Writing a Resume That Stands Out in 2023

In today’s job market, competition is fierce and your resume is often the first chance you have to make a great impression on potential employers. A well-crafted resume can help you stand out from the crowd and land the job you want. Here are some tips to help you write a resume that stands out in 2023.

  1. Tailor Your Resume to the Job:  One of the most important things you can do to make your resume stand out is to tailor it to the job you are applying for. This means customizing your resume so that it highlights your most relevant skills, experiences, and achievements for that particular position. You should also be sure to use keywords from the job description in your resume, as this will help it get noticed by the hiring manager.
  2. Highlight Your Accomplishments:  While it’s important to list your work experience, it’s even more important to highlight your accomplishments in each role. This will give the hiring manager a clear understanding of the value you can bring to their organization. Try to use quantifiable data to show the impact you’ve made in your previous roles. For example, you could mention how you increased sales, decreased costs, or improved customer satisfaction.
  3. Keep Your Resume Short and Sweet:  In today’s fast-paced job market, hiring managers often have limited time to review resumes. That’s why it’s important to keep your resume short and to the point. Aim for a maximum of two pages and use bullet points to make it easy to read.
  4. Use a Modern Design:  Your resume should not only be well-written, but it should also be visually appealing. In 2023, it’s important to use a modern design that is clean and professional. Avoid using fancy fonts or graphics, as these can detract from the content of your resume. Instead, opt for a simple, elegant design that will help your resume stand out from the crowd.  Pro tip, use a free resume builder to save time and put your best foot forward.
  5. Show Your Personality:  Your resume is not just a list of your work experience and skills. It’s also an opportunity to showcase your personality and what makes you unique. Consider including a brief personal statement or summary at the top of your resume that highlights your strengths and what sets you apart from other candidates.
  6. Proofread Your Resume:  It may seem like a small detail, but a well-proofread resume can make a big difference. Check for spelling and grammar errors, as well as any inconsistencies in your information. A single mistake can make you appear unprofessional, and that’s the last thing you want when you’re trying to stand out.


By following these tips, you can write a resume that will help you stand out in 2023. Remember to be clear, concise, and highlight your accomplishments, and you’ll be well on your way to landing your dream job.

  • What is the WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit)?

    WOTC (Work Opportunity Tax Credit) is a federal tax credit available to business employers, both large and small. The credits are designed to offset Federal income tax liabilities. When the WOTC program is executed the right way, employers can capture enough tax credits to significantly reduce, or even eliminate, their Federal income tax liabilities. (And if your business was formed using a flow-through-entity, like a S-corp or LLC, then the credits could flow-through to the owner’s K-1).

  • How can WOTC impact my business?

    Executing the WOTC program is simple and easy with the right provider. We’ll screen your applicants to determine if they satisfy one of nine qualifying criteria. If so, our team of tax credit experts work with specific government agencies, behind the scenes, to capture the tax credits for you. Once captured, tax credits can be used to eliminate Federal income tax liabilities and thus improve cash flow for stakeholders and the business.
