Why Your Resume Is Getting Rejected in Seconds


Listen Later

This week, Jeff and I are talking about how professional recruiters review resumes. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to know what a recruiter is actually thinking when they look at your resume, but we’re pulling back the curtain on how hiring decisions are made and even walking through a live review to help you feel confident and prepared.

This week, Jeff and I talk about:

  • The 10-second resume scan
  • Common design and branding pitfalls
  • How to use "bullet point titles" for maximum impact
  • Transferable skills during career transitions
  • Showcasing evidence through results and metrics
  • Moving from the "maybe" pile to the "yes" pile
  • Strategic professional development placement
  • What recruiters prioritize behind the scenes

Listen in to help us, help you give yourself the best chance of landing your Next Job… NOW :)
