Why do recruiters ask for an updated resume?
Editing or “Blinding” – Some recruiters may want to make some small (or large) edits to your resume in order to clean it up or perhaps to meet some requirement the client has. Sometimes a recruiter may blind the resume of an impressive candidate and send it to a company in order to try and gain that company’s business.
Why do recruiters ask if you have other interviews?
To gauge whether or not you are interviewing with any of their competitors. To help the interviewer understand how quickly they will have to move if they were to offer you the job.
Why does an employer typically ask open ended questions?
Many employers ask open-ended questions to get a better insight into the candidate’s thought process and personality. These questions can also reveal whether candidates have enough experience and qualifications for a specific job by explaining how they apply their knowledge and skills.
How long do recruiters look at resumes?
six to seven seconds
On average, employers look at resumes for six to seven seconds. However, the amount of time that an employer spends looking at a resume varies from company to company. Some employers may thoroughly scan a resume, while others may scan it for only a few seconds.
What makes you the right person for this job?
When describing your strengths and accomplishments that make you a good fit for the position, provide quantifiable examples of each. For example, rather than saying that you have strong communication skills, describe an example in which you used your communication skills to solve a problem in the workplace.
