Did you know that the average recruiter spends just SIX seconds looking at a candidate’s resume? Whether this is your first time updating your resume in years, or your 5th time this year, use these tips to recreate or update your resume.

Here’s a preview of key learnings:

• Add your most recent experience from the company you just left

  • Avoid generic bullets like “managed a team” or “created spreadsheets in Excel”

  • Maximize the first 5 words of your bullets by utilizing action verbs and focusing on a specific accomplishment or impact that you had

  • When something is quantifiable, make sure you’re using numbers or percentages
