Picture these two kinds of resumes…a salesman (with eight years of experience) submits a two-pager resume, with an executive summary of his career and details of his employment in reverse chronological order. The achievements were all mentioned in terms of difference they made to the company with respect to revenues and profitability. As opposed to this, the next one was just a one-pager (experts say that it’s not a bad idea); the candidate, in this case had nine years of professional experience out of which he had skipped almost five years of professional information; it raised a lot of questions in the mind of the recruiter: was the candidate not sure of what he had done? why try and hide? For Ajay Trehan, founder and CEO, AuthBridge who had to encounter the above two situations, the decision was quite simple; the former made it to the interview stage while the latter didn’t.
