Recruiters spend an average of six seconds reviewing a resume before they make the initial decision on candidates, according to research conducted by TheLadders, an online job-matching service for professionals. 

That means you have to win them over fast.

While resumes should be tailored to the industry you're in, the one displayed in this article offers a helpful guide for entry- and mid-level professionals with three to five years of relevant work experience.
What makes this resume so great? Below are outlined the following reasons:

  1. It includes a URL to the jobseeker's professional online profile.
  2. It uses consistent branding.
  3. It includes a single phone number and email address.
  4. It does not include an objective statement.
  5. Instead, it includes an executive summary.
  6. It uses reverse chronological order.
  7. It uses keywords like "forecasting" and "strategic planning."
  8. It provides company descriptions.
  9. It does not list achievements in dense blocks of text.
  10. Instead, achievements are listed in two to five bullet points per job.
  11. It quantifies achievements.
  12. Accomplishments are formatted as result-and-then-cause.
  13. White space draws the reader's eyes to important points.
  14. It doesn't use crazy fonts or colors.
  15. It does not include pronouns.
  16. It does not include images.
  17. It doesn't use headers or footers.
