Am i the only one that opens up resumes hoping they read like a proposal ?...no?..really?!
Let me take you into the mind of the everyday employer.

" Employers don't have time to decipher how your qualification fits the business, remember you are looking for a job, you must craft a resume that stands above the rest!"  

1. Show Interest
Show that you have researched the company! A CV that is sent to a company that you know nothing about shows you don't care who you work for! Self care reflects in the environment you wish to align with. Every business has a culture!

Statistics show that 8 out of 10 employees leave businesses because they couldn't fit in with company culture and management style!

2. Show the value you bring to the role
You should align to your qualification and experience etc. to show projections of how your strengths align with the company's business mission and vision.

This part will require research on your part , from looking up general industry information to company key staff information, look at what skills you have and show how you fit into the
organisation! The question is what can you bring to the employer in exchange for your personal security "salary and career growth"?

Example: if I want to work in an media company when you have a psychology degree, you need to show how psychology will be advantageous to the company! 

Some thoughts:
How do my skills complement the vision and mission of the company?How may staff members are in my future role within the coy?What is the staff size?This will show exactly how u think or propose to fit in!
