Resume Facts

H.R. professionals report that only one interview is granted for every 50 to 100 resumes received by the average employer. Managers typically skim resumes, spending an average time of only 15-45 seconds on each one.

The decision to interview a prospective candidate is usually based on an overall first impression of the document, so it is essential that yours is visually pleasing, attention getting and written in a clear concise manner.

A superior resume can position you for a 10% to 30% or more gain in your starting salary.
