2. Passing the 6-Second Test



Recent studies have indicated that most recruiters spend only 6 seconds to scan the resume and decide the eligibility of an applicant. The key elements that a recruiter looks for in these six seconds include location of the candidate, education qualifications, the last two employers and the designations held. In order to land a dream job or an interview, it is essential for a job seeker to ensure that this fundamental and critical information are easily accessible to the recruiter.

The resume must showcase an individual’s inherent strengths and skills as per the requirements of the industry. Domain skills must come upfront and the soft skills should not be ignored.

As an individual move up the corporate ladder, the role of soft skills becomes even more important.
