In the first few seconds of reading a resume, hiring managers ask key questions to assess if a candidate is worth further consideration. They may review 100 resumes for 5-10 seconds each to find 3-5 clearly qualified candiddates.
Here are some of the most important questions that run through their mind:
- Does the candidate's main title and recent job titles align with the target position?
- Do the candidate’s overall years of experience match the requirements of the role?
- Do the candidate's top 5 skills line up with the target position?
- Is the candidate’s industry experience relevant to the role?
- Does the candidate’s work history demonstrate experience in the top 5 skills?
- Does the candidate’s level of people skills fit the expectations of the position?
Quick answers to these questions help hiring managers decide whether to continue reviewing a resume or move on to the next one. Your resume must answer these questions at a glance and include quantified evidence, proof, or demonstrated experience to support your claims.
Most candidates fail at this point because they focus on providing a short resume, rather than one that is concise and shows their "FULL VALUE."
