Throw Away Your Cluttered Resume, Because Here's The Type That Gets You Hired

Writing the perfect resume is still the cornerstone of a successful job search in today's digital age. An eye-tracking study by Ladders found that the average recruiter spends only six seconds reviewing a resume before deciding if it’s worth a closer inspection.

Now, have a look at the one you have in your mail. It's heavy, cluttered, scattered and dead boring. Just ask yourself, would you like to read it if you were the hiring manager? If the answer is NO, it explains why you need to get rid of that Clutter in it and make it simple yet appealing. Several job researches have indicated that candidates with a simple, crisp and clear resume have been hired more by companies over candidates with fancy and complex ones. This is not to say you cannot be creative with it. You just need to be careful that the attention is on whether the final product is an easy and quick read that can impress your hiring manager.

It's difficult, when you only have six seconds to make the right impression. You have to make every word on your resume count.

So, follow these simple rules and guidelines (key do’s and don’ts) and we are sure you will be able to achieve success in this important phase of job hunting. ALL THE BEST:
