Job Search Tip:

Some people may argue that in the age of automated resume scanning, document layout and font are much less of a concern today than in the past, but that is not entirely correct. For one thing, most staffing agencies like ours still read resumes the old-fashioned way. This is why it is important to make sure that you have the proper keywords and matching resume content fit for the job you are applying for, as eventually there will be a point where a real human manager will get to look at your resume (after the automated filtering has been done) so you want them to get the best impression possible. Why shortchange yourself with a bad-looking resume that has great content when you can have the best of both worlds?!
