Recruiter Perspective Essentials

From a recruiter's perspective, we focus on "can we quickly understand your value." This page summarizes the key recommendations that most improve pass rates, with links to detailed guides and tutorials.

⏱️ First-Screen Strategy (6-10 Second Rule)

• Top "professional summary" 2-3 sentences: Identity + field + representative metrics (numbers)
• Naturally integrate 3-5 position keywords (avoid stuffing, ensure semantic flow)
• Put most important achievements first; avoid lengthy paragraphs in first screen

🤖 ATS-Friendly Checklist (Minimalist Version)

• File format: .docx or .pdf with copyable text
• Layout: Single column; avoid tables, text boxes, image text, headers/footers with key information
• Fonts: Standard fonts like Arial/Calibri/Times New Roman; body text 10-12pt
• Headings: Standard naming like Work Experience, Education, Skills

🌍 Internationalization and Localization Tips

• Overseas positions: Generally don't show photo/birthday/marital status; emphasize evidence and links (portfolio/GitHub/publications)
• Chinese positions: Whether to show photo/age depends on industry and company culture; if shown, maintain professional image
• Maintain separate Chinese/English versions, avoid direct translation; English prioritizes verbs and numbers first; Chinese pay attention to full-width/half-width and date format consistency
