Resume Revolution Insights from an Ex-Amazon VP

· 01:08

|

Welcome back to Career Clarity. Today we’re breaking down resume tips straight from an ex-Amazon VP who’s reviewed more than 10,000 resumes. First up: make it scannable. Research shows recruiters spend just six seconds glancing at your document, so “use clear headlines and bullet points” to highlight key achievements. Next, tailor every resume to the job description. As our source says, “Keywords matter,” so match your skills to the employer’s must-haves. Tip three: quantify your impact. Rather than saying “managed a team,” say “led a team of eight to increase sales by 30 percent in six months.” Avoid buzzwords and jargon—keep language simple and focused on results. Finally, stick to one page unless you have over a decade of experience. A clean, consistent layout with a professional font makes all the difference. Follow these steps and you’ll boost your chances of landing that interview. That’s Career Clarity—see you next time!
