How to Make Your Resume Work For You

Let’s get real. Recruiters spend just 6-8 seconds on your resume. That’s less time than it takes to open a pack of Maggi. So, how do you make those seconds count?

At Career Sudharo, we’ve helped thousands of students and professionals land interviews and get placed in their dream roles. Here’s how to ensure your resume isn’t silently sabotaging your chances.

1. Tailor It Like a Pro

Generic resumes go straight into the “no” pile. Recruiters want to see that you’ve read the job description and understand the role. Use keywords from the JD and align your skills and experience with what the company is looking for.

> Pro Tip: One resume does not fit all. Customize it for each role.

2. Keep It Clear, Clean & Concise

Your resume should be easy to scan—think clean layout, bullet points, and correct alignment. Stick to one page (or two, if you’re experienced). Focus on what matters: skills, achievements, relevant education, and work experience.

> Avoid long paragraphs or unnecessary design elements that confuse Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).

3. Show Impact, Not Just Activity

Instead of listing tasks, show results:

“Managed college fest” → “Led a 10-member team to execute a 3-day college fest with 2,000+ attendees.”

“Worked in marketing” → “Increased brand’s Instagram engagement by 60% in 2 months.”

>Numbers = Credibility.
