<p>Thanks Linda, Estandiar - I cannot imagine any recruiter worth their salt who doesn't go past page 1 - I can pretty much review the whole resume in less than one minute (but definitely NOT 6 seconds). The ONLY way to optimize your chances is to make sure I know what you've done! I emailed 3 separate people in one week to advise them that they didn't appear to have the requisite experience for a position only to receive an email back from all 3 saying, yeah, I've done that it's just not on…</p>

<p>"I can't add in what I don't know, but I can always take out what's not relevant'. I tell candidates this all the time. There are so many 'experts' when it comes to writing resumes, I actually feel bad for candidates sometimes! Put in the buzz words, show your accomplishments, TELL ME WHAT YOU DID, and we can go from there. </p>
<p>If I don't see it in your resume, I don't know to call you. I certainly cannot call every single resume we get, hoping for one that has all this hidden…</p>

<p>This is an excellent post. It is amazing how much information is missing or missed when reviewing resumes. Then remembering what to ask during the interview is another major problem.</p>

<p>This is an excellent post. It is amazing how much information is missing or missed when reviewing resumes. Then remembering what to ask during the interview is another major problem.</p>

<p>As you point out you cannot fit everything into 1 page resume. But I think candidates are trying to optimize their chances. According to Wall Street Journal and CareerLadder most recruiters are so flooded with applications, they will not go past the first page. If you believe the Ladder study they spend only 6 seconds per resume! That is why the machine should do the work for you, and leave the recruiter to do the deeper due diligence. </p>
<p>Thank you for your post. </p>
