What Content Draws Recruiters & Hiring Managers to Your Resume?

Many recruiters and hiring managers see "job description lingo" on resumes, you know...those "responsible for" statements. These are bland and just tell the reader that you are good at copying and pasting from job boards. The best way to create compelling resume content is to showcase your specific on-the-job achievements and proactive results within the scope of your previous and current positions. Not only will you be providing some metrics, but giving the reader something to visualize and align you more with their open position.
