Although high-tech digital job application tools are gaining in usage by companies — especially larger ones, the resume remains a key document in most employment searches. So, it is essential that we do everything we can to have our resume stand out from our job applicant competitors.
As Mark Wallace writes for Akken Cloud:
“Finding the right candidates has always been and will continue to be a top challenge for recruiters and their clients.

“Let’s face it, the traditional resume or CV, will likely go away in the not too distant future. However today, how a candidate formats his or her resume is often the primary reason why a technology platform, a recruiter, or talent acquisition team will select and follow up with a potential candidate. The below Resume Do’s and Don’ts infographic includes some great tips to help your employees, customers, and your team to be successful.”
