The Kubera Principle

The Book That Will Change the World

If you were a stay-at-home parent, the thought of going back to work after a few years of being out of the loop is a bit intimidating. For you to give a worthy competition in the job search, your resume must stand out among the others.

1. Tailor your resume for each job description
Don’t send out the same resume for all the jobs that you apply for. You should write a different version of your resume to suit each job description.

2. Pick a functional resume format
This will help you divert the recruiter’s attention away from the career gap to your skills.

3. Write a skills-focused resume
Create a strong skills section for your functional resume. Include a good mix of hard skills and soft skills.

4. Take the hiring manager’s attention away from the work experience
Place the work experience section at the bottom of your resume and use years, not months, to date work experiences.

5. Add some new skills to your skill set
Highlight how you have been proactive during your career gap by mentioning the skills you gained during that time in your resume.

6. Write a matching cover letter for your resume
A persuasive cover letter that follows the style of your resume will get you noticed. Ensure that you don’t repeat your resume in the cover letter.
