Recruiters take just 6 seconds to scan your resume — and in those 6 seconds, most candidates get ruled out.

If you're an executive, VP, or director sending out resumes and hearing crickets — this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what to do differently.

💡 Inside the episode:

• What recruiters actually look for in the first 6 seconds
• Why your impressive experience might be getting overlooked
