Interest Span - - a person/HR spends 15-20 seconds going through the resume - Prioritise, Rank, Summarise, relevant info to the job - Education details should be put, but not at the beginning, whatever is most relevant and best selling point should be put on top - Reverse chronological order 2. Rule of Relevancy - filtration - Selection and elimination - Elaborate on most relevant experience - add achievements for the relevant experience 3. Customisation - “ I got what you need ” - Use JD to add keywords into your Resume - Space optimisation 4. Factual, Concise, To the point - Career Summary 5. Super Target Beating the Application Tracking System (ATS): 1. Single column format 2. Plain text 3. Apply to 1 job in one organisation 4.
