Recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing a resume before they make the initial decision on candidates. That means you have to win them over fast. The tips below offer you a helpful guide.
Pay attention to privacy of personal details. Westerners have different definitions and explanations on the term 'privacy' from people in Asia. In English resumes, it is not required to provide information such as date of birth, ID number, marital (婚姻的) status, place of origin, race, religion, health condition or family background.
Use reverse chronological (时间的) order. This is the most helpful for recruiters because they're able to see what you've been doing in recent years immediately.
Do not list achievements in dense blocks of text. Recruiters receive so many resumes, so make it as easy as possible for them to understand why you're perfect for the job. Dense blocks of text are too difficult to read.
List achievements in two to five bullet points per job. Under each job or experience you've had, explain how you contributed to or supported your team's projects.
Add an image. A personal photo can leave an impression on the recruiters, as long as the photos are appropriate. Being professional can bring a huge advantage on your application.
Send different resumes to different companies. Instead of making minor modifications on the previous resume, you should rewrite it according to the preference of your desired company.
