The Hiring Experience
When I was hiring for a Business Analyst (BA) role, I posted the job on LinkedIn and received nearly 200 applications. My task? To shortlist just 5 or 6 candidates.
The Recruiter's Reality
With so many resumes to review, I needed a quick filter. The easiest way? Eliminate resumes that were poorly formatted, hard to read, or disorganized.
In a time crunch, the mindset shifts from:
👉 “Who to shortlist?” to
👉 “Who to reject quickly?”
The Takeaway
Never get rejected over fixable issues. Ensure your resume is:
✅ Well-Formatted – Clean, consistent, and organized.
✅ Easy to Read – Use bullet points and clear headings.
✅ Role-Relevant – Highlight how you can solve the employer’s problems.
Bottom Line
Your resume should instantly show why you’re the right fit. If it’s hard to read, recruiters won’t get to the part where you shine.
