They say first impressions are critical because they can make or break an opportunity. While this is true for job interviews, it’s also applicable when creating your resume. At first glance, your resume should be impactful, especially because recruiters are said to spend an average of only seven seconds reviewing a candidate’s resume before deciding if he/she is suitable for the job.
