In that time, some people have started new jobs, Zoomed their days away and then left companies where they never even met their co-workers in person.
In Monster's recent"Future of Work" report, recruiters in the United States ranked resume search - the ability to look through uploaded resumes on sites such as Monster or Indeed - as the most effective tool for finding candidates. The report also found that for employers, a resume was second only to an in-person interview in determining whether a candidate was a good fit.
And machine and human readers alike struggle with overly stylised fonts, such as Comic Sans. Tried-and-true classics like Times New Roman, Arial, Helvetica, Calibri and Georgia are still among the best font options for your resume, Ms Minshew said. Unlike those seeking jobs in the days of faxed and mailed resumes, today's job candidates might apply for one position through a company's job portal, have their resumes uploaded and stored in a database, and then be matched with a different role at the same company months or years later.
Ms Minshew noted that a 2019 report from Jobscan found that nearly 99 per cent of Fortune 500 companies used an applicant tracking system, which could put job seekers who don't include the right terms in their resume at a disadvantage. But just because the format of the resume hasn't changed much, it doesn't mean job seekers shouldn't try to make theirs look great, especially in creative fields.
