A great resume won’t just help you land interviews—it increases your chances of getting referred. Here’s how to make yours stand out for professionals who might refer you through EasyRefer.
1. Keep It Clean and Clear
Referrers don’t have time to decode cluttered layouts. Use clean formatting, clear headings, and bullet points to highlight skills, achievements, and experience.
Pro Tip: Stick to 1–2 pages max, unless you’re a senior professional.
2. Focus on Achievements, Not Just Tasks
Instead of saying “Managed social media,” say:
“Increased Instagram engagement by 60% in 3 months.”
This shows impact, not just activity.
3. Add a Summary Section
A brief 3–4 line summary at the top helps referrers understand your value at a glance. Include your domain, key strengths, and what kind of roles you’re targeting.
4. Include Your LinkedIn Profile
EasyRefer is built around referrals—and most professionals check LinkedIn before recommending. Make sure your profile matches your resume and showcases endorsements, projects, and certifications.
5. Save as PDF, Name it Professionally
“Resume_JaneDoe_FrontendDev.pdf” is much better than “new_resume_5_final(1).docx”.
Closing Thoughts
Remember, referrers are vouching for you. A strong, honest, and well-formatted resume makes it easier for them to do so confidently.
