How does an employer analyze a resume?

When employers and recruiters look at a resume for the first time, they need less than ten seconds to know if that candidate has potential or not. The first pieces of information their eyes will look for are:

The information above is the most critical for the career of the candidate, this is why they always scan it first. With this in mind, make sure your resume is brief, concise and goes directly to the main points. You should remove all vague sentences and verbiage because they take the attention away from your strengths.

The next thing recruiters will search for in a resume is the keywords used to describe skills, responsibilities, technologies and knowledge that could be related to the job position. One secret for keywords is to carefully read the job posting and check exactly what the company needs from the candidate. You can then adapt your resume to those keywords.
