Hiring managers typically spend 10 seconds or less reviewing each resume. To attract their attention, a resume needs to be professionally crafted and focus on achievements and results rather than responsibilities alone. Crafting an effective resume starts with proper planning such as listing all information to be included and structuring it with a checklist. The resume should be tailored to the specific job requirements and provide reliable information about contact details, experience, education, skills and other relevant qualifications to present the candidate as reliable and meeting the employer's needs.
