The 3 Elements

of a Winning
Industrial
Engineering
Resume
 Why having a unique Resume is
important?
If you look at the research, hiring managers and recruiters
spend an average of 6-8 seconds on your resume.
Now, they wont pick up and call you straight to give you an
interview, but its very important to understand that in the
initial interaction between your resume and the hiring
manager, he needs to give a hand-raise which is basically
him saying to himself

I like this person, I better know more

That is why it is so important to get your resume noticed. I

have seen worse, bad, good, best resumes all around.
Resumes of industrial engineers in particular must include
certain key elements in order for it to be impressive.

I want to talk about 3 specific elements which, if placed

strategically, can drastically improve the look of your
resume.
