Positions are becoming increasingly competitive as more people apply for the limited openings available. Hiring authorities review three times as many resumes as they once did for openings and some are experiencing “resume burnout,” due to the sheer volume of resumes they must review. In this situation, resumes can be discounted and discarded more quickly than in years past. Instead of finding reasons to keep a resume in the pool of potential applicants, resumes are being reviewed and set aside more quickly as not suitable due to the information on the resume itself.
