Designing a Resume That Lands Interviews

Are you designing a resume that lands interviews?

If you’re currently job hunting and struggling to get responses from potential employers, it might be time to take a closer look at your resume.

In today’s video, I share an experience with a client who had been using two different resumes interchangeably, one of which was a whopping seven pages long.

To say it was difficult to read is an understatement.  Besides having any clear achievements or accomplishments that would help him stand out, after the second page the words just seem to mesh.

In a job market where over 250 resumes are being received for every open position, it’s important to make sure that your resume is concise, well-organized, and highlights your unique achievements.

This means using bullet points to showcase specific accomplishments, rather than just listing your job responsibilities.

As I point out in the video (click here to watch) recruiters are often scanning resumes, not reading them in full.

So, you want to make sure that the most important information is easy to find.

The video also offers some practical advice for how to structure your resume.

For example, limiting bullet points to between five and eight for recent positions.

For older positions, fewer bullet points are necessary, but it’s still important to highlight any relevant achievements or skills.

Use metrics like dollar amounts or percentages whenever possible.

Overall, this video provides some valuable insights into what recruiters are looking for in a resume.
