Your resume must reflect your worth to the table as an employee. If it does not make an immediate impact on the manager hiring or recruiter who reads it, you might not get invited to an interview. Here are some reasons why your resume should stand out:

1. Professional Image

A professionally written resume will establish the credibility of your resume as well as professionalism before you even meet with an prospective employer in person.
