Build A Resume That Passes Screening Without Tricks
Recruiters don’t read resumes. They scan them like billboards at 100 km/h. You have ten seconds to say: “This is worth stopping for.”
What works
- Clear structure. Role, skills, proof.
- Links to evidence: GitHub, portfolio, case studies.
- Honest alignment with the job description.
What fails
- Keyword stuffing like a desperate SEO blog.
- Long career objectives no one reads.
- Fancy fonts that crash ATS parsers.
Three tips
- Use verbs, not adjectives.
- Show outcomes with metrics.
- Place proof above padding.
