💡 The 10-Second Resume Rule Would your resume survive the 10-second scan? After more than a decade recruiting across Corporate & Investment Banking and Risk Management, I’ve read thousands of resumes, from Analysts to Managing Directors, and I’ve learned one simple truth: Hiring managers make up their minds in about 10 seconds. I’m starting a new series called “The 10-Second Resume Rule” where I’ll share resume tips tailored to the areas I specialize in: Credit Risk, Operational Risk, Third Party Risk, Underwriting, and more. Here’s why I’m doing it 👇 Everyone today is focused on “beating” AI scanners and keyword filters. But what most people forget is that even after you get through the system, your resume still needs to impress a human being — usually a hiring manager who’s scanning dozens of resumes between meetings. And there’s nothing worse than a bombardment of buzzwords when all they want is a clear, direct summary of what you actually do. If your resume doesn’t quickly show your function, level, and product or industry focus, it might not survive that first 10-second glance, even if you’re the perfect fit. That’s what this series is all about: helping you improve your resume so you stop getting overlooked and start getting interviews. ✅ Making your experience instantly understandable ✅ Being concise and avoiding long paragraphs ✅ Structuring your titles and bullets to grab attention ✅ Standing out in a stack of “optimized” but unclear resumes First up: 👉 The 10-Second Resume Rule | Credit Analysts Stay tuned — that post is coming next. #Recruiting | #ResumeTips | #RiskManagement | #CorporateBanking | #InvesetmentBanking | #BankingCareers | #FinancialServices | #CreditRisk | #Underwriting
