A paper published by Association of Job Search Trainers in 2007 brought out a few very interesting facts about the importance of a resume and a recruiters psyche.

• Most recruiters review a resume for 10 to 30 seconds.
• Employers consider very few resumes to be excellent. Based on general surveys,
• 98% of resumes received require 78% of revision.
• 84% of employers prefer a one page resume for anyone with less than 5 years of experience.
• 80% of screening happens with the resume.
• The most important elements on your resume are your work history and experience.
• Spelling errors and typos have the worst impression on Employers or recruiters.

So, those 10-30 seconds pretty much define your future with the recruiter and the only one thing that influences that decision making is your resume. To steer clear of the recycle bin one needs to have a skillfully crafted resume that will dramatically increase the response rate from recruiters and shorten the job search time. Without exaggeration a professionally written resume can lead to 5k - 10k increase in your offered salary. A resume is supposedly you at your best and any mistakes there reflect carelessness. It should be a compelling force that makes the employer reach out to you and schedule the following rounds. It not only helps you bridge the gap between you and the employer, it also defines the direction of your interview. Despite these known facts, candidates normally find it challenging to create the right resume. Summarizing a 10 year work experience in a single line in the objective section can be tough but not impossible. The first line in the resume sets the tone for everything else. Another aspect that makes resume creation tough is the ever changing standards & guidelines for resumes. In a world of Google search and search engines, having the right keywords without losing the central focus in a resume is the key.
