We are creating content to go on existing pages next to examples of resumes and resume templates.

Target Audience:
People looking for careers/jobs.

Tone/Voice:

Professional yet engaging tone. Informational/Helpful. We are providing tips for jobseekers looking to create a resume for a particular job in a given industry.

Do’s and Don’ts

  • Please use the Oxford (serial) comma.
  • Use active voiceNO passive voice! Use this free grammar checker.
  • For this client, “jobseeker” is one word.
  • “Skill set” is two words
  • Do not use the word “highlight” unless it is part of the question you are using. Some readers take this literally and highlight portions of the resume, which is not appropriate. Instead, use phrases such as “illuminate,” “draw attention to,” and “point out.”
  • Don’t use “OK.” Please spell out the word “okay.”
  • Don’t write the word “percent.” Use the symbol “%” instead.
  • Don’t refer to a “dream job.” Instead, talk about “the job you want” or something similar.
  • Please spellcheck for the word “manger” and change it to “manager.”

Keyword – “[JOB TITLE] resume template/s” with the actual job title from Column E of the spreadsheet substituted for [JOB TITLE]. You may use the singular OR plural version of the keyword, or a combination of both. Use title case in headers and lower case in running text. Use the keyword 5 times within the body of the article, beginning with the introduction. (Any keywords above the Introduction do not count toward keyword density, but those in the headers beginning with the introduction section header through the end do count.)

Links:

  • Please add 3 links ( 1 link to the resume builder at https://www.myperfectresume.com/, 1 high-value internal resource link and 1 external resource link) with html code [ <a href=”url”>ANCHOR</a> ] (See HTML tab for important information on how to include the code properly, specifically how to use straight quotes rather than curly quotes.)
  • The anchor text for the links should be 3-5 word phrases that are similar to the URL.
  • When researching and writing this article, use well-sourced external resources such as BLS.gov, O*Net, The Muse, and The Balance. See Research Resources tab for important information regarding internal and external resources.
  • The high-value internal link should come from some of BOLD’s in-house companies, including LiveCareer.com, Mighty Recruiter, My Perfect Resume, Resume Builder, Hloom, and Resume Now. For instance, you could include a link to an individual job title resume sample in the [job title] Resume Template sections as long as it is from one of the BOLD family of companies.


Word Count
– Between 375 and 500 words. (You will be paid for 410 words.) The Title, Metatitle, and Metadescription do not figure into the word count. Please stay within ranges listed below for all sections.

  • |Title|Choose a Title from list in Title accordion box.
  • |Metatitle| Choose a Metatitle from list in Metatitle accordion box.
  • |Metadescription| – (approximately 275 – 315 characters, including spaces) Use keyword once.
  • |Introduction| – (100 words) Use keyword once.
  • |How To Mention Your [Job Title] Experience|- (125-170 words) Use keyword once.
  • |[JOB TITLE] Resume Tips| – (140-170 words) Use keyword once.
  • |[JOB TITLE] Resume Templates| – (50 words) Use keyword twice (once in header, once in body).

Format: Open accordion boxes below and follow specifics for each section.

Please include the HTML code within the document for the internal and external links you use. It should look like this:

<a href=”URL you want to link to”>anchor text</a>

EXAMPLE:

Take a look at our <a href=”https://www.resume-now.com/templates/samples/restaurant/food-runner”>busser resume sample</a> for additional information.

Very Important: The quotation marks need to be straight quotes, rather than smart quotes.

If your Word default is set to use “curly” or “smart” quotes, sometimes you get a front quote at the end of your quote (or in this case, link) and vice versa. This causes the URL to be incorrect. Here is the way to correct the problem:

In Word, go to File, select Options and then Proofing, Click on AutoCorrect options.

Select the “AutoFormat As You Type” tab. The box next to – Replace as you type – “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes” may be checked – please uncheck this box. We only want the straight quotes, not the smart quotes.

You will need to select OK at the bottom of this screen and again on the proofing screen after this one disappears, to change the default. We want to use straight quotes because they are recognized at the beginning and end of the link in the HTML code. You need to fix the default and then retype the quote marks into your code

Very Important: Do not put spaces around the anchor text. Within the code, there should not be a space either before or after the anchor text. In other words, the pattern is like this:  <a href=“https://website you are linking to”>anchor text</a>. The problem is that if you have spaces within the code, the client gets double spaces when they post it. BOLD asked us to remove spaces from within the code.

|How To Mention Your Busser Experience|

|Busser Resume Tips|

These busser resume templates offer you a solid starting point for your job search. But you can quickly elevate them to catch the recruiter’s eyes and win the job by using these tips.

  1. Personalize your Busser Resume: Although you need to build yourself a strong resume foundation, you should also update your resume for the specific needs of each job posting. Scan the job ad for repeated phrases and find ways to include those same terms in your resume.
  2. Write a Powerful Summary Statement: A recruiter spends six seconds scanning a resume before deciding to discard it or to continue reading it. Including a summary statement that explains why you’re a perfect match for the role is crucial to passing that initial test.
  3. Use Specific Examples and Experiences: Use personal or professional success stories that relate to the job requirements to demonstrate you have the skills needed to hit the ground running. Proving that you have the necessary skills to strengthen the staff improves your odds of landing both an interview and job offer.
