Text-Heavy Templates: Yes or No

Hiring Managers and Recruiters spend minimal time scanning resumes, which is why the visual layout of the resume is crucial.

Be careful because heavy text blocks can be off-putting for most reviewers.

Instead you should format your resume with an "E-pattern," where job titles and lengths are on one line and achievements are bulleted. This helps create a more scannable and visually appealing layout.

So Text-Heavy Templates are a NO! Remember the average amount of time most reviewers spend on any given Resume is about 18 seconds before they make a decision about it. #AWU #disability #resumetips #jobs

"Resume Tip"

What is in a name, you ask?

Everyone after they create there Resume saves it. Many simply save it as Resume and it is saved in your system as "Resume doc". So when you apply for a job or send it to someone, the file name reads "Reseme doc". Remember, the objective here is to become memorable in the mind of the recruiter or hiring manager.

That said I would highly recommend that after you creat your Resume you save it with Your Name as the file name something like Jane_Doe_Resume.doc. It is then easily identifiable and keeps your name standing out. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips
