Three Things That Impress Recruiters on Your Resume/CV
When people have been searching for a job for a long time, they are willing to try anything to make their resume stand out: red ink, unusual fonts, purple paper, clip art.
Don’t do it.
Recruiters and Human Resources departments are impressed with only three things:
- The right combination of skills, education and achievements
- The ability to relay that information quickly and concisely
- A clean, neat, easy-to-read format
They don’t have time to sort out facts from creativity and computer
scanning programs are very likely to miss or mess up vital information
if you use unusual colors, artwork, formats or fonts. As one recruiter
put it, “If a resume looks like it means business, it is more likely to be taken seriously.”
The best way to capture attention is to make sure your resume is
focused and clear, you have included the information that companies are
looking for and you have given yourself full credit for your
achievements.
