As job seekers, when formulating your resume or cover letter, there is always a conscious decision to make. Do you emphasise your skills, or how much experience you have gained? Even though employers are interested in viewing your relevant work history and experience, many favour skill set over experience. Why is this? Let's delve deeper.
When applying for a new job, most candidates will try to portray themselves in the best possible light, attempting to stand out against the rest, and a resume, cover letter and interview are vital details recruitment consultants need to feel confident when hiring a candidate. A majority of candidates have nothing to hide and are motivated by presenting themselves honestly, however, these details often only scratch the surface of the candidate’s suitability to a role.
