Your resume have to convince in 40 seconds

Very good title of this article on Developpez.com.

Having seen hundreds when I was business manager and recruitment manager, resume is indeed a very important thing and a recruiter can’t waste time on it because he receives so much of them, considering he has to read all of them to not miss the pearl who applied by a happy luck.

So yes we don’t read entirely a resume, but we browse it quickly first seeking our keywords (look at the image in the article on the eye focused on the document, called F), then we will read it again later if it retains our attention and during the interview.

How many neglected resume I received (and I don’t speak about the spelling). The picture is not important for me, I judged the quality and skills and not the look, but minimal effort has to be made again on this document so important today, and unfortunately flooded with others having set themselves apart in a wink.
Clarity, simplicity, and consistency with the job you apply (when I seek a developer, I don’t care that he tidied up products at Boulanger) with a focus on required skills.
