The essentials of a résumé
A résumé has to pass numerous stages before it gets in front of a hiring manager: It has to bypass online keyword filters, stand out to a recruiter, and meet a hiring manager's expectations.
- One-page résumé. On average, recruiters will view your application for less than 6 seconds. Keep it short and to the point.
- Sections (Header, Education, Employment, Software, Personal Projects, Skills). Put the sections in order of importance from top to bottom.
- Consistent layout + font per section. A consistent style enhances readability.
