Understanding the Psychology of Attention for your Resume

Recruiters review hundreds of resumes and use a qualification scan to determine which resumes to further explore. By optimizing your resume to pass this scan, you can increase your chances of getting more interviews and job offers. Recruiters quickly scan for specific experience, skills, keywords, and outcomes to determine whether a resume gets rejected or goes to the next stage of evaluation. Therefore, understanding how recruiters quickly review resumes is vital to creating an attention-grabbing resume.
