Resume standards change — and 2025 brings a more digital, keyword-driven approach. 1. Use a Clean, ATS-Friendly Layout Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to scan resumes. Use a simple font (Arial, Calibri, Helvetica), no tables, and no fancy designs. 2. Include Keywords from the Job Description If the job says “forklift operation” or “inventory tracking,” make sure those exact phrases appear in your resume. 3. Add a Skills Section Include both technical and soft skills — things like PIT Certified, Team Leadership, Safety Awareness, or Data Entry Accuracy. 4. Save as a PDF A PDF ensures your formatting stays consistent when viewed by employers. At Level Up Sourcing , we help candidates format resumes that pass through systems and land on the right desks.

 Your resume is your marketing tool. It tells your story before you ever walk through the door — so make every word count. Keep It Focused Stick to one page if possible, two at most. Use short, clear bullet points that start with action verbs like managed, assembled, improved, or operated. Highlight Results Employers love numbers — include measurable results where you can. Example: “Increased order accuracy by 20%” or “Trained 5 new team members.” Customize It Always tailor your resume for the type of role you’re applying for. A warehouse resume should highlight physical stamina and safety knowledge, while an office role should highlight communication and software skills. Level Up Tip: Our recruiters can review your resume before submission to ensure it fits the job perfectly.

Preparing for an interview isn’t just about knowing your resume — it’s about showing up as your most confident, prepared self. Whether you’re interviewing for a warehouse, administrative, or leadership position, the way you prepare sets the tone for success. 1. Research the Company and the Role Spend at least 10–15 minutes learning about the company. Know what they do, who they serve, and what the role involves. If you’re interviewing through Level Up Sourcing, your recruiter can give you inside tips on what the client values most. 2. Practice Common Interview Questions Review typical questions like “Tell me about yourself” or “What are your strengths?” Keep your answers focused, confident, and relevant to the job you’re applying for. 3. Dress the Part Even if the job is casual, first impressions count. Dress neatly and professionally, and avoid anything too flashy or distracting. 4. Arrive Early and Stay Present Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early. Put your phone away, make eye contact, and greet everyone with a polite smile. 5. Follow Up After the Interview A simple thank-you email or text shows professionalism and genuine interest.  At Level Up Sourcing , we remind candidates that confidence comes from preparation — and we’re here to help you shine every step of the way.
