Your resume needs to answer three questions for the hiring manager – who are you, what are your qualifications, and why should they bring you in for an interview, in less than a minute. Does your resume do this?
Share to linkedinWhen hiring managers review resumes to choose which candidates they want to bring in for an interview, they aren’t spending much time per resume. One study showed that hiring managers spend as little as six seconds looking at a resume, and while that figure has been contended, most studies agree that the amount of time per resume is usually under 60 seconds.
Font and spacing are the most important design factors on a resume. Use a clean, easy to read font like Arial and keep the size at 10pt for readability. Use headers to label sections so the hiring manager can easily find the information they’re looking for. Make headings, job titles, and positions bold so they’ll stand out. Use bullet points when listing your work history details rather than paragraph blocks, and aim for no more than five points per job.
When it comes resume design, it really depends on the type of job you’re applying to. If it’s in a field or for a role where design is a part of the job, then a creative resume can help you stand out. If it’s not a creative job, it’s best to keep your resume simple. You can still use color, but limit your color choices to one or two and always ensure that the main text is black.The jury is out on how many pages a resume should be, and the truth is, there’s no absolute right or wrong.
