The Student Voice
Too often in education we think we know what is best for our students. Not often enough do we listen and hear what our students are saying about their education. This collection tries to show more of the student perspective.

How to Answer “Walk Me Through Your Resume”

How to Answer “Walk Me Through Your Resume” | The Student Voice | Scoop.it
The fastest way for recruiters to determine if you have the necessary skills and experience for a job is by asking, “Can you walk me through your resume?” It sounds like an easy question, but don’t be fooled — your answer will determine whether the recruiter considers you a serious candidate. Recruiters aren’t looking for a laundry list of accomplishments or responsibilities. Instead, they want a focused narrative that highlights why you’re the perfect fit for the new role. Here’s the catch — you need to deliver your answer in less than two minutes no matter how many jobs you’ve had and how many years you’ve worked, or you could risk losing the recruiter’s attention.

Here are three steps to ensure that your response to this crucial question leaves a lasting impression.
