INSIGHT

Resume Is A Snapshot Decision

  • A resume is a snapshot that helps employers decide who to advance from large applicant pools.
  • It must quickly show whether they should learn more about you.
ADVICE

Design For Quick Scanning

  • Keep your resume clean with white space and clear sections to create a strong first impression.
  • Put contact details and recent roles where they jump out on the top half of the first page.
ADVICE

Keep Layout ATS-Friendly

  • Avoid two-column or highly designed templates that confuse applicant tracking systems (ATS).
  • Use simple linear layouts so ATS can correctly read your contact details and headings.
