Resume rules, interview etiquette and lying to job candidates: Hiring managers are coming clean about what they’re looking for — and how far they’re willing to stretch the truth about their own companies — when filling open roles.
Resume Genius’s new survey of 625 hiring managers outlines what can set job seekers apart, or put them on the cut list. When managers read a resume, 42% percent said a strong introduction is one of the most important parts. Gen Z hiring managers value the hobbies and interests section, with more than a third ranking it above professional experience. Along with personal details, soft skills are strongly valued by more than half and should be highlighted both on a resume and in an interview.
