Recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds reviewing a resume. Here’s how to make those seconds count.
Lead With a Powerful Summary
Your professional summary should capture who you are, what you do best, and what value you bring — in 3 sentences or less. Avoid generic phrases like “hardworking” and “team player”.
Quantify Your Achievements
Instead of “Managed a team”, write “Led a cross-functional team of 12 to deliver a ₹2.4Cr project 3 weeks ahead of schedule with zero defects.”
Use ATS-Friendly Keywords
Applicant Tracking Systems filter resumes before humans see them. Include keywords from the job description naturally in your experience section.
