On average, a recruiter spends only SIX SECONDS looking at your resume! #BeyondProf

Summaries: include a job title - similar to LinkedIn - followed by 3-5 sentences which demonstrate what your resume entails! #BeyondProf

Do: focus on your accomplishments, and impact! How did you help your colleagues, stakeholders? What is your bottom line? Help employers understand how YOU can help THEM! #BeyondProf

Don’t simply list your job duties! Think broadly about how what you did impacted your workplace. #BeyondProf

Keywords are KEY - you want to match the company’s language. @DrWhiteRamsey’s tip: use jobscan.co to optimize your resume! #BeyondProf
