Is Your File Name Lazy? Subtle (And Thoughtless) Resume Mistakes

Fast Company | Business + Innovation: A resume is a short and precious thing: one page of text for six seconds of review. As the hummingbird attention span suggests, the recruiter glancing at your resume will trash it at the slightest provocation--and you would too, if you had hundreds or thousands of CVs to churn through. So, then, dear job-hunter, you would do well to embolden your text where appropriate and restrain yourself when necessary. This will make your recruiters' job easier--and the chance that you land the job higher.

The resume should be precise but you must construct it in a way that will tell everyone who reads it about your value and qualifications for the position. It is good if you seek help from an expert like interview coaching Edmonton since they can help you with the whole job application.
