3 resume green flags, according to a former Google recruiter
Recruiters are notoriously busy and can spend very little time on each resume they look at to decide if a candidate will move forward.
“My advice would be, optimize a resume for 10-second viewership,” says Nolan Church, who’s worked in talent acquisition at companies like Google and DoorDash, and is currently the CEO of talent marketplace Continuum.
Here are three green flags that show Church that you’re a good candidate in 10 seconds:
Companies similar to the one you’re applying to:?Past work experience comes into play when recruiters decide whether or not you could be a good fit. For Church, that means “working with companies that are analogous [to yours] or that are just known to produce great talent.”
Quantified examples of your accomplishments:?Include numbers that give a clear sense of your successes on the job. “If you’re a salesperson, I want to see what your percent to goal was every quarter,” says Church. “And if you’re not a salesperson, can you articulate driving revenue or measurable business impact?”
An interests section:?“I love former athletes. I love people that do triathlons. I love parents. I love people that have passion in life for anything,” Church says. He recommends including a short section at the very bottom of the resume called “interests” or “interests outside of work” containing one line listing three to five things in life that you’re passionate about.
