You may think your resume is already tip-top, but put yourself in the shoes of a recruiter. Hiring managers receive dozens - sometimes hundreds - of resumes for any given opening.

Several job researches have indicated that candidates with a simple, crisp and clear resume have been hired more by companies over candidates with fancy and complex ones. This is not to say you cannot be creative with it. You just need to be careful
