If you’ve gotten this far in your resume makeover, it’s time to give your eyes a break. You’ve probably spent way too much time staring at the document on your screen checking for misspelled words and other typos that it no longer even reads like English to you anymore. It’s time to bring in a second pair of eyes to give your resume a once-over.

First option: Call in a mentor or a fellow job-seeking friend for whom you can do the same solid. Second and even better option: You can get a resume critique for free (seriously!) from the experts behind Avant Career resume writing service. An actual resume specialist will review your doc, and, within a couple of days, provide an evaluation on ways you can improve your resume so that it will get through the robots and stand out to hiring managers.

7. Make yourself "discoverable" to recruiters

Ever wonder why some people just get called by recruiters about jobs and why you’re not one of them? Well, every day, recruiters search Avant resume database for candidates for jobs that aren’t even posted. By uploading your resume, you can be one of those people who gets found by a recruiter.

Also, uploading your resume will help make your application process easier when you start applying to jobs on Avant. By having your resume already in our system, applying can be as easy as hitting the "Apply" button.

Just like you wouldn’t show up to a job interview wearing jeggings or a suit with super-wide lapels, you don’t want your resume to appear inappropriate or out-of-date.

So delete that opening "objective" section—and replace with a summary, which is now preferred. Cut that "references available upon request" cliché (duh, of course they are) at the bottom. And while you’re hitting the delete button, Salemi says to expunge basic computer skills like Microsoft Word and only include specific skills to your industry, like C++ programming. You’ll also want to switch out that crazy font you think will help your resume stand out.

Getting past the applicant tracking system is like making it past the semifinals—but your resume still has more hurdles to pass, in the form of those human recruiters who are trying to pick out the best of the best to bring in for interviews. You’ll want to make sure you quantify your achievements to help them see the impact you made. If you had a choice between a candidate who "developed sales leads" and one who "developed 20 new sales leads a week," wouldn’t you pick the latter?

"Quantifying helps recruiters put a framework around the work you do and how you do it," Salemi says. "Do you manage a team and how many? Did you save the company money and how much? Indicating daily, weekly, monthly meetings and deliverables attests to your ability to multitask and get the job done."
