Change your resume for a top salary

The difference between achieving the high or low end of the salary range offered can be as simple as altering your resume. Different resume templates project different first impressions to your potential employer. If your resume is rushed and unfocused, you could be selling yourself short when it comes to negotiating a higher salary.

How to change your resume for a top salary


Show that you are indispensable to the company by providing specific evidence of your achievements. If you are in sales, show your quantifiable sales numbers and growth where possible. Or if you provided more problem-solving skills at your last job, list some specific examples of how you succeeded.

You also can show your worth through the knowledge gained in past education and work experience. For instance, in a specific industry, you might show your knowledge of the products themselves or possibly how you treated clients and maintained repeat customers.

Leave the interviewer wanting more--in other words, don’t bore a potential employer with too many details, but rather provide key information that he or she will want to follow up on later.

And whether you’re looking for jobs in Liverpool or London, it may be of value to hire a professional resume writer to help you narrow down your most prized attributes. This way, you can achieve the highest possible pay in the career you wish to pursue.

Your current resume and cover letter could cause you to lose money in an eventual higher salary. Make sure that you’re making a valuable first impression, since this can show that you are worth what companies are willing to pay.
