The 30 Second Resume Test, Do you pass???

Yes… 30 seconds. Sometimes less.

Before we dive deep, we scan — and these three elements?determine?whether we keep reading.

1. Job Title & Career Alignment

Do you match the role?at a glance?

We immediately look at your: 

• Current and recent job titles
• Career progression 
• Alignment with the role we’re filling

If someone is hiring a Herd Operations Manager, we’re scanning for leadership, dairy experience, and operational responsibility — fast. If that connection isn’t clear immediately, we move on.

2. Relevant Industry Experience 

Have you worked in this industry before?

In specialized sectors like Agriculture, Food & Beverage, Dairy, or SaaS, industry familiarity matters. We’re quickly asking:

• Do they understand this market?
• Have they worked with similar customers?
• Will the learning curve be steep?

Niche industries are just that — niche.

3. Measurable Results

Did you perform — or just?participate?

Instead of:
“Managed customer accounts.”

Say:
“Grew territory revenue by 22% in 12 months.”

Revenue growth. Cost savings. Efficiency gains. Retention improvements.

Numbers build credibility — fast.

A strong resume isn’t about length. It’s about clarity, alignment, and impact.

If these three things stand out at first glance, your odds improve significantly.
