Generally, a Hiring Manager/ Talent Acquisition specialist spends about a 30 to 40 seconds per resume. The resume viewing window can also depend on other factors like the years of experience, core areas of expertise, location of the candidate, Gender etc. depending on the Job Description / KRA. For example, a fresher’s resume may just get a glance to make it towards the shortlist. Hence, here we used the principle “Less is More” and create an effectively written precise resume which can speak on your behalf.
 
The Resume can be of 2/3 pages or more depending on the kind of experience and level of expertise of the professional.  A resume is ideally a summary of one’s education, skills and other employment details required at the time of applying for a job. The length varies as professionals gain more experience and so does their career achievements. It is imperative for any professional to correctly showcase their professional accomplishments and expertise along with their other relevant educational credentials. So, the stress is on qualitative content rather than quantitative.
