Project leadership within non-profit organizations is a good addition to your resume. Also consider adding any teaching/training for outside groups. If you have transferable skills that you use outside of work, you should consider adding them to your resume.

I recently hired a professional resume (and linkedin) writer. I had no idea how different the format for resumes are these days. Without knowing your background or education, I learned if you do have a masters, do highlight that upfront in your descriptor. That is not to be underestimated. It is about key words and highlighting accomplishments (no matter how big or small). Quantify your work results Highlight any big awards/recognitions you have received Work committees/volunteer projects you have worked on Volunteer/side projects that you have been involved with

Side projects are a great addition to a resume. Blogs, YouTube channels, podcasts, etc. are great projects to add on a resume. I know a lot of people that got jobs due to their side projects they have done. Mentoring is also another good way to stand out on a resume. Hiring managers often tell me that mentoring and being active in communities within your industry.

So many good tips! Make sure that you are not just sharing your job description, but include accomplishments! And, volunteer experience is still experience! If you are volunteering somewhere, be intentional about what you want to accomplish to add to your experience!

All the above recommendations are great. I would recommend Joining non-profits organisations. Maybe start an industry-related podcast. Join any organization as a mentor. Good luck!

If there are any committees at your company that you can join, those are great things to add to your resume. Also, volunteer work (especially if it shows off your skills) can also look great on a resume. Good luck in your job search!

I would recommend volunteering, taking on roles that require leadership like chairing committees, and participating in groups or roles where you can learn and help out even if it’s unpaid.

Talk about your achievements however large or small. And add some sprinkles! For example: if you have trained as few new employees in your current role you can capitalize on that “successfully trained 3-5 colleagues on internal controls” Maybe you suggested a procedure change that resulted in saving the company time and money. Talk about it. Anything you have done in your past or current roles that show you’re a team player, a leader, that you’re flexible, innovative, creative. Tailor it to the industry you’re looking to work in.

Could you add more details about special projects you've done in your role? Do you participate or lead any groups within your company, such as a women's resource group? Do you contribute thought leadership on any online forums or blogs?

All of the above are great recommendations. I would also add training and education - upgrade or maintain your skills through additional training, courses or certifications can be additional ways to spruce up your resume. And if you're really stuck you can also work with professional resume reviewers who have experience in redesigning and updating resumes. Good luck!
