What recruiters look for in a resume at a first glance33What do you look for in a resume at a first glance?Relevance. If I am looking for a digital marketer, I would like to binnenbinnenbinnensee the keywords that the employer would be interested in. The candidate should have been in the right positions in the right companies before. I also want to see a good design and an excellent structure of the resume.What would you like to see more of in resumes?I get bored a lot when I look at resumes. They all look pretty much the same. From my point of view, most resumes dont reflect the personality of a person at all. I want to see more resumes that look nice and are very well-thought-of, very well-built, representing the true colors of the person behind the piece of paper. If a designer is applying for a job, or a financial expert, I want to see a different type of resumes for both.Further, if the candidate has taken any personality tests, I want to see those on a resume, so that I can get a better perception of the person. I am not talking about a made-up, pseudo-science test, but about some of the recognized personality tests (e.g. Gallup Strengths Test). I would encourage candidates to incorporate such results in their resumes.Another thing that I dont see are the achievements. Skills are usually present in resumes, but the achievements tend to be missing. I want to see tangible results that have come out of a persons work. If you are young, you may think that you have nothing tangible to write about. But if you are creative and think deeply, you can include little things, such as finishing projects on time. These are important and make a good impression.I also want to read about what the benefit to your employer would be from hiring you. This can be said directly and it would put a candidate ahead of competitors, who dont make a similar mention. If you can think of a direct and specific benefit of you being hired, its always a good idea to include it in your resu me.What do you wish people stopped doing on their resumes?Stop using cliches and generic words that mean nothing. I see unterstellung in most resumes.In the end of the day, why do you need the resume? To choose someone from the crowd. If you write what everybody else is writing, whats the point? Try to be more specific and avoid common cliches, such as I am an open and outgoing person. What does that even mean?Try to customize your resume towards the employers specific needs. Dont mass mail, dont mass apply, this never works. If you dont know what you are looking for, how are you going to land a job you like? Its much better to apply to a few positions.I strongly believe in customizing resumes. This doesnt mean you have to lie on your resume. It means you have to focus on a certain tischset of facts important to the industry and employers.Nowadays, people talk a lot about the resume dying. Do you think thats true?Resumes are definitely being disrupted. They are beginning to incorpor ate more elements videos, test results, etc. In the next ten to fifteen years, we will be seeing a lot of resume usage in the recruitment process. They are definitely not dying. Tags recruitment, resume tips
