For example, according to a 2012 Ladders' study , their "gaze tracking" technology showed that recruiters spent almost 80% of their resume review time on the following data points: name, previous position start and end dates, current title/company, current position start and end dates, previous title/company, education. So, ask a friend to look over your résumé and ask about their one-minute impressions. Did they get tripped up by the way you organized everything on the page? Could they figure out what kind of job you're applying for and what you want to do? Were the details recruiters care about easy to find?
