At Google I learned the avg recruiter only spends 6 seconds looking at your resume.
After coaching 100+ students over the last 4 years, the biggest thing that's always missing is a clear articulation of impact.
Many give vague descriptions of their responsibilities without showing why anybody should care. That defeats the whole point of the resume 🥴🥴
"Impact" comes down to:
1) What you did (specific role/contributions/deliverables)
2) How you did it (skills leveraged, process observed)
3) Why it matters (Results, recognition, outcomes, significance)
If you do those 3 things, you're cookin with grease 😛
Although simple, it takes time to craft your story and brand.
In 6 seconds, recruiters are looking for indicators to qualify you.
Everything from format, type, to verbiage impacts their perception.
So where do you start? In the next post we'll do a deep dive on how to brainstorm your resume content. You'll get:
