resume tips

20 seconds to get in the front door: Resume Tips

Your resume has to be packed with P.O.W.E.R! On average, a candidate resume only has 20-30 seconds to get in the door or end up stuck in the reject pile. Keep your name on the “Hot List” with these resume tips that will help to impress your future employer:

Try to avoid resume templates. Be creative but keep it clean and professional – do not use a font smaller than 11 pt.
Use a reader-friendly format. Ensure key facts show up easily with bullet points and white space to keep information in separate blocks.
Use a short summary that clearly illustrates your career focus versus an ‘old school’ objective statement. With the speed Recruiters review resumes, a wordy objective statement will not get the job done. In your summary include your profession and how long you have been in this particular area of expertise.
Keywords galore! You cannot have too many keywords! This will ensure you show up in online searches by Recruiters and within employer, database searches as well. A good rule of thumb is to check against keywords in job postings.
If you have a 2-page resume, get your best information on page 1.
Don’t include salary history.
Keep it honest! Social media and the Internet make it easy for employers to check up on your work history – any exaggerations will catch up with you!
Creative professionals should always include a link to your online portfolio or links to examples of your work.
Most importantly – PROOFREAD. One misspelled word can land your resume in the “pass” pile. Have at least 2 other people read over your resume for typos, misspellings, and punctuation errors.

Marissa was recommended to me by a colleague, after working with her on an important search for my company I got to see first-hand why. Marissa was responsive, took the time to understand what we were looking for even though we weren’t entirely sure of all that we needed. She sprang into action providing some great candidates and top-level service. We ended up hiring a senior digital executive who has been delivering since day one.

Chris Schembri, Founder + CEO @ Aletheia Marketing & Media

For the past 8 years, I have been relying on Marissa Hansen to help scale the Marketing functions of some of Boston's best digital hyper-growth companies and Ad agencies. Since 2011, Hansen has been the only agency partner I have taken with me, from TripAdvisor to Wayfair to iProspect and now Mendix. She sets the gold standard in attracting and evaluating the best Marketing & Digital Advertising talent in the market, and beyond that, I genuinely enjoy working with her. She's smart, professional and tenacious. I can't recommend her enough.

Andree Grenier, Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner – Mendix

Hansen Recruiting just GETS IT. They are by far the best recruiting agency I have ever worked with. With most recruiting agencies, it takes weeks of back and forth to get the right caliber of candidate - with Hansen, we get great quality from the start. They also understand that I'm strapped for time - that's why we work with them - and they project manage me effectively to make sure we are moving forward. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Ryan Markman , COO @ Metric Digital

Amy is one of the best recruiters I’ve worked with. As a recruiter myself, I have a very high bar when it comes to partnering with someone on my own search, but Amy immediately won my respect. She takes the time to get to know her candidates AND clients. She presented my resume to her client knowing they’d like my background, even though they didn’t have a role at my level. Two weeks later, I had an offer. One thing I appreciated most throughout the process was her responsiveness; she's quick to return a call or respond to an email, even after hours. And on top of it all, she’s just a really nice person that you genuinely enjoy working with.

Leah R., Senior Recruiter @ an online travel company

I was very happy at my job when Amy approached me with an opportunity. Her sale of the position to me and her non-aggressive manner convinced me to take an interview with the company. I realized right away what an amazing opportunity it was and Amy took me through the process from interviews to negotiations with ease. Had the process not been as simple and Amy not been so helpful, I am not sure that I would have taken this new role. She was available to me at all hours, was great at keeping me updated and super low pressure. I highly recommend Amy for digital marketing recruitment needs.

Lisa C., Director Earned Media @ a global digital performance marketing agency

I can always count on Marissa and her team to put the best, most qualified candidates in our path. They are a top-notch firm with professional and timely correspondence.”

Judi Startzman, VI Marketing and Branding + VP Strategic Marketing

Marissa is an outstanding recruiting partner. She helped fill a difficult role with my company that had been open for quite some time. Throughout the process, she was readily available, and provided great insight and advice. I wholeheartedly recommend Marissa to anyone with difficult-to-fill positions in the eCommerce space.
