Recruiters, Employers, and Your Resume
Research has been done to see what recruiters look for when reviewing resumes and how long they spend reviewing a
resume. It was found that recruiters and employers only spend about 6 to 7 seconds reviewing one resume and make their
initial decision as to whether the candidate is a fit or not. This research shows the importance of a targeted, concise
resume with no extra and/or outdated information. The key information that recruiters and employers see in those 6 to 7
seconds include:
● First Name/Preferred Name and Last Name
● Current/Most recent employer
● Current/Most recent position, with start/end dates
● Previous position, with start/end dates
● Education
● Heading/Contact information (email, phone, etc.)
Who Reads Your Resume and What They Look For
Your resume can be read by different individuals, it depends on the organization. Usually these individuals include an
initial screener, a member of the Human Resources team, the hiring manager, and members of the hiring team. Each
individual will be looking for different things based on their needs and areas of focus. Employers/recruiters also want to
see keywords that are listed in the job description.
Initial Screener:
Your resume may be reviewed by an initial screener who will look for specific details to make sure that your resume
matches the position requirement and needs of the organization. The goal of this initial screening is to reduce the number
of applications that they will have to review fully. Some of the information an initial screener will look for include:
● Are you located where the job is located?
● Do you have the required degree/education and/or certifications?
● Do you have experience in line with the job requirements? Do you have related experience?
Recruiter:
For this section, we will refer to a recruiter as someone who works for a third party (head hunter, staffing agency, etc.) that
is assisting the employer in identifying and selecting the best candidate for their open position. Many organizations are
utilizing staffing agencies or head hunters because it is what they specialize in, finding the best fit. It costs time, money, and
resources for an employer to hire. Using an agency allows the company to pay a fee and let the recruiter do the work.
Recruiters are experts in the finding, attracting, and screening applicants for open positions. Recruiters manage the entire
talent acquisition process from end-to-end. This can include advertising the job opening, reviewing resumes, interviewing
candidates and working with hiring managers to find the right fit. Once a qualified candidate is selected, they are presented
to the hiring manager for consideration. It is important to be aware of this strategy and onboarding process as you navigate
your job search.
Applicant Tracking Software (ATS):
Increasingly, the initial scan is performed by an Applicant Tracking Software (ATS), software designed to help recruit
employees more efficiently. It is estimated that more than 85% of all midsized companies and almost all large companies
use some version of an ATS. These systems use keyword searches to find candidates that most closely match the
requirements of the position that you are applying to. To increase your chances of having your resume run through the
ATS and make it to a human’s desk, use some of the keywords in the job description.
Do not use a resume template from Word, Docs, or the Internet. These often have a formatting structure that is too
complex for an Applicant Tracking System.
Human Resources:
Whether the initial screen is electronic or human, the next individual to review your resume is likely to be from the
Human Resources office. They will look for the following information:
• Do you have the skills, education, and experience to do the job well?
• Will you be a good fit with the company culture?
• Are there any red flags with your application?
• Did you complete all the steps in the application process? Did you follow directions?
Human Resources may review how long you held each position in your previous employment. Having a number of jobs
in a short timeframe or gaps of employment still has the potential to be viewed as a red flag, indicating that as a candidate,
you “hop jobs,” or are unable to stay in one position for a long period of time. This assumption of “job hopping” has
decreased over time, as more and more employers become aware of individuals that leave positions for growth
opportunities, but it is still out there. The Human Resources professionals will also review spelling, grammar and
punctuation on your resume.
Hiring Manager:
Another type of reviewer could be the hiring manager. This individual will examine your past employment, education,
and look at you as a candidate as a whole. They will also try to determine whether you would be a good fit for the position
and whether you would work well with the team or department. This is the person who will most likely be the decider in
who gets selected for the position.
Members of the Hiring Committee:
This group of individuals will review your resume to make sure your skills match the needs of the job. They are also
assessing your fit with the company and the team. They will likely review your social media presence. The hiring committee
will typically include members from various departments or units of the organization. They are there to ensure all angles
and perspectives are covered in creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.
Resume Content & Formatting
There are a few acceptable ways to organize the content and information on your resume. It is important to note that
resume writing is not a “one size fits all” process. You should review and explore different resume styles (reverse
chronological, functional, combination are the most common) before deciding which fits your qualifications and
experience. You should also meet with the Career Center to ensure your resume is the best reflection of your
skillset before sending it out to employers. Most student and graduate resumes are formatted in reverse
chronological order, meaning the most recent experiences or degrees should be listed first.
How you choose to order and name the sections may change depending on your experience and what the position that you
are applying to is. A recent alumna/alumnus with a few years of experience could start with the “Education” section,
whereas an alumna/alumnus who has been out of school for more than a few years could begin with a “Relevant
Experience” or tailored header section.
It is very important to pay attention to the job description for the position that you are applying to when creating your
resume. Your resume should be tailored to every position that you apply to. All of the information on your resume should
be relevant and related to the position that you are applying for. You may end up with multiple versions of your resume if
you are applying for positions in various industries, and that is okay.
Here are some details regarding the content that you may include on your resume:
Header: In this section, be sure to include your name (3-4 font sizes bigger than the rest of your document), a
professional email address (preferable if it has your name in it, do not use a family or shared email address), and cell
phone number. You should also list your address, providing only the city, state, and zip code in which you reside. It is no
longer expected or necessary to include your entire address as this is an issue of privacy as an applicant.
Professional Summary: This is optional. Also known as a Summary of Qualifications or Summary Statement, we
recommend that you use this section only if you have three or more years of experience in the industry. If you include a
summary, make it concise, use metrics, and target it to the job description, using bullet points or three to four sentences.
You may also wish to incorporate soft skills in your summary such as critical thinking, leadership, and team building
experience. Your summary should be well written and encourage the reader to read more about your experience.
Education: List your most recent degree, or a degree in progress first. After that, list your degree from Russell Sage
College (use Sage College of Albany, Sage Graduate Schools, or The Sage Colleges if you graduated before May 2020).
It is important to note that the name has officially changed to just Russell Sage College, so be sure to include that, as seen
below. Include the degree name and major, month and year of your graduation, and the city and state of the college or
university. If you studied abroad, include that information as well.
Ex. Master of Science, Occupational Therapy, December 2020
Sage Graduate School (Russell Sage College), Troy, NY
Bachelor of Science, Applied Biology, May 2018
Sage College of Albany (Russell Sage College), Albany, NY
At Russell Sage College, you could have earned a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Professional
Studies, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, or a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate. Graduate
students could have gotten a Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in
Education, Doctor of Education, Doctor of Nursing Science, Doctor of Physical Therapy, or an Advanced Certificate.
There may be a few degrees that are not listed above that are no longer offered at Russell Sage College. It is essential that
you list the correct name of your degree program. Refer to our website if you have doubts/questions about your program.
Major/Minor/Concentration/Pathway: List your major after your degree (see our sample resumes for examples of each
of these). Your minor can go after that, or on one of the lines below your degree and major. If you are in a pathway or
accelerated program (BA/BS and MS, Occupational Therapy 3+2, Accelerated MBA, etc.), you can also list that under
the degree name and college.
Ex. Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences, May 2022
Russell Sage College, Troy, New York
Accelerated Pathway Program into Doctor of Physical Therapy Program
Date of Graduation: You must list the month and year of your graduation. You may spell the month out (May 2020) or
use numbers to document your month and year of graduation (05/2020). If you do not include this information, an employer
will be curious as to why you left it off. Keep it consistent. If you are listing the month and year of your employment and
experiences, you should do the same here. If you choose to spell out the month, it should be spelled out in your experience
sections as well (same as if you choose to use numbers).
Relevant Coursework:
Many ATS systems utilize keywords to select resumes out of the applicant pool. These software systems are programmed
to look for certain criteria and credentials. If your resume is missing them or does not include the keywords, it will not be
selected or chosen by the system, even if you have the experience! At times, the names of coursework could very well be
keywords for ATS systems. For example, if the job description states “must have knowledge of the justice system” the ATS
may have been given the directive to select every applicant with the word “justice” on their resume. Listing “Restorative
Justice” and “Criminal Justice Functions & Processes” (even if you have no direct experience in the field) will help your
resume be selected by the ATS.
GPA:
When listing your GPA, you want to be careful. While a 3.2 is good, it’s not better than a 3.9 or 4.0. Listing your GPA on
your resume allows employers to compare you to other applicants based on others who chose to list their GPA as well. For
many jobs, it doesn’t matter if you received a 4.0 or a 3.0, what matters is that you have the degree. Here is an example:
You list your GPA of 3.6 on your resume. This is a great GPA and means you took your studies very seriously. You also
have good experience and a well formatted resume. However, another candidate with the same qualifications as you received
a 3.9. On paper, they appear more qualified or a “better” candidate. Not listing your GPA doesn’t allow for the employer to
make these assumptions. The Career Center does not recommend listing a GPA that is less than a 3.5, and if the application
doesn’t ask for it, it might not be needed. Sometimes it is best to not include it at all.
Relevant Experience: It is important that you highlight your most related experience(s) that you have to the position that
you are applying to on the top ¼ of your resume, even if it is not your most recent position (this is considered a
functional style resume). You can title this section whatever you would like to make it more tailored, such as “Customer
Service Experience”, “Professional School Counseling Experience”, or something along those lines.
Additional Experience: If you have additional experience(s) that add to your professional story, then add these
experiences in a different section. Depending on space available, these positions may or may not have bulleted
statements.
Collegiate Athletics: If you were a member of a Sage athletic team, this is a great item to add to your resume for up to
about 10 years. Think of your position on the team as being a “Member” and/or “Captain” when listing this experience
on your resume.
Skills: The skills section can look different depending on what types of career skills you have. These skills can be
computer skills, language skills, etc. Here is an example of how you can list your skills. Be careful to not only list
soft skills or basic (expected) computer skills such as Microsoft and/or Google products.
Ex. Skills
Language: Fluent in written and oral French, beginner knowledge of American Sign Language
Computer: SPSS, Customer Relationship Management, EHR
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) conducted surveys from companies across the United
States to see what skills they are looking for in candidates that are applying to positions (see image directly below).
While a lot of these are soft skills, you do not want to list these skills under the “Skills” section. Employers want you to
demonstrate these skills in your bullet points that you have for relevant positions.
Key Elements that make an Attractive Resume:
Targeted: Demonstrate your fit for the position by including keywords, qualifications, and skills that make you uniquely
qualified for each position that you apply to based on the job description provided.
Concise: Most employers/recruiters will only read the top half of your resume the first couple of times they look at it.
Be sure to include the most important information on the top ½ and anything else listed will be purely supplemental.
Remember, they only spend 6 to 7 seconds reviewing your resume the first time!
If you have a two page resume, know that an employer may not read the entire document until you are one of the final
applicants that has been selected to interview. If you have a two page resume, your first page should be able to stand
alone and provide insight into why you are a good fit for the position.
Error-free: There should be no errors on your resume. Read it out loud and check for errors or awkward phrasing. Also,
have the Career Center staff review it!
Well Formatted: Employers and recruiters like to see a clean, professional resume. Do not include text boxes, columns
that divide sections across the document like is commonly seen in templates, or creative formatting. Keep it simple and
classic- black and white font, one professional font throughout the entire document, and no color.
Other: There may be other sections that you wish to add to your resume such as “Professional Development”,
“Publications”, “Leadership Experience”, “Volunteer Experience” etc. Please consult a member of the Career & Self-
Discovery Center for more information about this.
References: Your references should be on a different page. Please see our handout on how to format your reference list
and who counts as a reference.
Resume Example Tips
The example below gives insight into what the key components of a resume are.

the Adirondack Park and surrounding areas around the Capital Region
●
Promote the club to fellow classmates on campus
SKILLS
Computer: Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, &
Excel; Google Docs, Sheets & Slides
Language: Proficient in oral Arabic
List your name and contact information at the top of
your resume. Your name should be at least two font sizes
bigger than the rest of the text. Your personal email (as
long as it is appropriate) or Sage email can be used.
Keep your margins the same all the
way around the document. The margins
should be between .5 and 1 inch.
C B Ch
The first section after the heading is typically education. List
the full name of your degree (Bachelor of Science, not Bachelors
of Science), full college name, and the month and year of your
expected graduation. You may list your GPA if it is 3.5 or higher.
Be sure to keep consistent formatting when listing the
details of your experiences. For example, if the position title
and your degree is in bold and italics, all other position titles
on the resume should also be bolded and italicized.
Quantify when
possible. This shows
off specific skill sets
and gives insight into
what you have
accomplished/can do.
Each section on your
resume can be customized
based off of your experiences.
For example, if you do not
have much work experience,
you can list your involvement
in volunteering, on campus
groups, athletics etc. The title
of the section should reflect the
content.
See the list of sample verbs to use for
your bulleted statements. Use present tense
verbs for positions that you currently hold,
and past tense verbs for positions you are no
longer in
Keep the formatting of the dates the
same. Spell out the name of the months-
general format is Month Year-Month Year or
Month Year-Present. You can also use
numbers. You can use seasons as well to
denote time frames (ex. Summer 2018).
It is preferred that the skills section should list hard skills and not
soft skills. These sections can list hard skills in areas such as foreign
languages, research tools (such as SPSS), laboratory skills, and computer
skills. Soft skills such as “team player, communication, leadership” are
important skills to have, but should be woven into your position
descriptions or summary, not in the skills section.
Writing Action Oriented Statements
In the bulleted action statements that will follow many of your experiences on your resume, it is important to emphasize
the skills, responsibilities, and accomplishments. When developing a bulleted action statement, you want to make sure to
answer the following questions:
TASK / WHAT
● What did you do in the position/experience that you are supporting with a bulleted statement?
● Use an assertive action verb for each bullet point. Avoid repeating the same verb for each position/experience.
● See the list of action oriented verbs on page 6.
ACTION / HOW
● Provide the employer with all relevant information that gives them an idea of what exactly you accomplished.
● Quantify whenever relevant.
RESULT / WHY
● Employers want to see tasks, outcomes, results and achievements of your work at relevant positions, not just duties.
Action statement brainstorming process:
1) Action 2) Task 3) Result
When brainstorming action statements to list on your resume, follow these 3 steps to create an action statement that
informs employers of the information that they want to know!
ACTION (1)
TASK (2)
RESULT (3)
Ex 1
Raise money
Fundraise
People went to national conference
Ex 2
Design craft activities
Engage and entertain children
Enhanced peer interactions
Ex 3
Create and promote
Make a flier
Get more students to join Dance Ensemble
Now put these statements together and fill in the gaps- remember to quantify and qualify whenever relevant.
Ex. 1- Raised over $6,000 with fellow club members through fundraising to send four members to a national conference
Ex. 2- Design craft activities that engage and educate approximately 8 - 12 children in an effort to enhance peer
interaction and develop motor skills
Ex. 3- Create fliers that promote the Dance Ensemble and encourage getting involved in the organization
Your turn! Use the table and lines below to start brainstorming your action statements!

and positions that you no longer hold will be in the past tense***
Formatting Tips
Spacing:
Pay attention to the line spacing on resumes! See below for more information and examples.
The best (and easiest) way to have complete control over the spacing in your document is to set it up before you begin
typing. If using Microsoft Word, the easiest way is to select “No Spacing” at the top of the blank document.
In Word, you can also:
● Go to the “Paragraph” tab. In the “Paragraph” tab, select “Single” for line spacing, and click the box that says “Don’t
add space between paragraphs of the same style.”
● Make sure the spacing also is 0pt for “before” and “after.”
In Google Docs:
● Click on “Line Spacing” icon on the menu bar
● Select “single” for line spacing, then remove space “before paragraph” and “after paragraph.”
Resume Formatting Mistakes
Common resume formatting mistakes include:
● Typos and grammatical errors
● Inconsistent spacing between lines
● Inconsistent font style
● Inconsistent font size
● Using symbols or shapes
● Inserting your photograph on your resume
● Using templates found in Microsoft or via the Internet
● Utilizing “bad” action verbs
● Utilizing the wrong verb tense (past vs. present)
● Leaving off important information (your phone number, email address, etc.)
● Having an unprofessional email address
● Incorrect contact information (old phone number, email address that you don’t access, etc.)
● Lack of specifics related to job responsibilities
● Including outdated or irrelevant information
● Failure to demonstrate and quantify results
● Listing your job description instead of your accomplishments and contributions
● Utilizes repetitive words or phrases
● Using paragraphs instead of bullet points
● Too long or too short
● Including a resume objective instead of a professional summary
● Listing employment references on your resume
● Listing salary requirements on your resume
● Listing hobbies unrelated to the job
These are only some examples of resume mistakes to avoid. When in doubt, schedule an appointment with the Career &
Self-Discovery Center to review your resume and make sure you are on the right track.
Resume Samples
The next section includes sample resumes based off of common majors and programs that are offered at Russell Sage
