Keeping the Recruiters Attention

Your resume should begin with a Summary instead of an Objective. This is what many recruiters are looking for today. As you create your summary remember it should include your greatest selling points. 

To ensure that your resume grabs the attention of recruiters implement these strategies. First of all make sure that your summary is brief, and when I say brief I mean no longer than four sentences. Secondly, you should strategically add industry key words in your summary. You can obtain a job description of the job you want to support you in this effort. Lastly, you must explain the value you can bring to the company. 

Any recruiter who reads your summary should be able to determine the position that you want, why you would be a potential fit, and if they want to continue reading your resume. Don't try to create the summary in one draft. It may take a few drafts to create the perfect Summary for your resume.
