As Eminem’s song goes: “You only get one shot, so do not miss your chance to blow.<\/em>” When it comes to recruiters and hiring managers checking submitted resumes,\u00a0you only have one shot to impress them<\/a><\/strong>, and in that one shot,\u00a07 seconds<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is all it takes for you to get a ‘yay’ or ‘nay.’ Recruiters get flooded\u00a0with resumes day in and day out,\u00a0so in their quick scan, they strategically spend their time looking into the important information you wrote down in this order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Scan summary and functional information to\u00a0make sure you’re a good fit<\/li>\n
  2. Your\u00a0work history to see if you have had a related career background<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. They look for company names, titles, appropriate number of years of experience in the field<\/li>\n
  4. Next, they search for keywords that show you have the skills\/knowledge to get the job done<\/li>\n
  5. And lastly, they scan for appropriate education, certifications, training etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When they do get\u00a0impressed by what they read, you’re then placed in the ‘MAYBE’ pile and get re-evaluated before they call you for an interview, that is, if you’re worth it. Hira Fernando from\u00a0Careerly<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0shows us in detail how recruiters and hiring managers go over a resume.<\/p>\n
