Recruiters initially read resumes in 6-15 seconds, depending on which study you read.
In today's YouTube video, I answer the question, “What do recruiters look at first on your resume?”
I outline the 4 initial areas recruiters look at first in that 6-15 second time period.
You may think it's impossible to assess all of the information I outline in the video in this short period of time.
I was a recruiter for 13 years. I will tell you that when you get good at reading resumes (after reading hundreds a day for years), you can assess if someone should get an interview call or not, or whether to keep reading the resume or not, in this short time frame.
So in this short video, you will learn:
- The most common resume mistake job seekers make that stops most recruiters from reading further and puts your resume in the “don't call” pile.
- Why functional resume formats don't work and why recruiters hate them.
- How recruiters determine if you are good at your job — just by reading a document.
- What recruiters are looking for in the education section of your resume.
