Resume Tips
1 min readA resume that gets read in under a minute
Edwuma Team
Keep the first screen focused on the role you want, the markets you can work in, and three results a recruiter can verify.
Recruiters skim. Your resume has about a minute to show the role, the location, and why you are a plausible hire. Everything else can wait until the interview.
Put the match at the top
The headline should be the job you want, not a slogan. Under it, list the countries where you can work and whether you are open to remote, hybrid, or on-site.
Write results, not duties
- Start each bullet with a verb and a number when you have one.
- Cut tools you have not used in the last two years.
- Match the wording of the listing you are applying to, without copying it.
Save a master CV, then make a short version for each application. The short version is the one you send.
