As a recruiting professional, it’s refreshing to see such an active job market, where exciting new opportunities await. However the job seeker must still prepare accordingly if they wish to land their dream job!
Part of this preparation is to ensure your resume highlights your areas of expertise and is properly conveyed to the reader. Here at Entech, we like to use the acronym “SMACK EM” to achieve this goal.

Meaningful Information
Employing this method clearly illustrates your appropriateness for the position you seek. Providing measurable and results driven data allows the reviewer to compare and contrast similar data at their own company. Perhaps, further defining “your competitive advantage”.
Another important success factor is the use of appropriate keywords throughout your resume. It’s important to remember, applicant tracking systems (ATS) used by organizations, including Entech are keyword searchable. These keywords are already found within the job description, so they should be in your resume as well!
Finally, take a moment to properly format your resume, so all relevant information can be easily absorbed by the reviewer. Our goal at Entech is to always give our candidates the best opportunity to “SMACK EM” with this methodology in mind.
