Job Search

Some seniors approach retirement gladly. They can't wait to have all that time to travel, pursue their hobbies, and spend extra time with their loved ones. Other seniors don't have such a rosy outlook on all those unfilled hours.

Many people tell me that “recruiters spend an average of six seconds reading a resume.” What are the quick things that they look for to determine if a candidate is the right fit? I asked a recruiter who has had thousands of resumes come across his desk — Trevor Richards, Account Manager and Technology Recruiter at PeerSource. He described five of the most common resume mistakes and provided insight into how to avoid these common hang-ups.
