HCPM LLC Preferred Resume Format

There are as many tools and recommendations for formatting resumes as there are hiring managers who assess them. Opinions and preferences are myriad, however, the best resumes are the ones that get to the point clearly and concisley. Extensive formatting using graphics and images are unnecessary and often distract from rather than enhance the professional message a great candidate intends to convey.  When used to divide or highlight sections, lines or shapes can help orient the eye, but applicant tracking systems and professional recruiters are likely going to parse, cut, paste and reformat content for presentation to their client anyway. Using  a clean, simple format signals that you respect the readers' time and that you want to make it as easy as possible for them to help land you the perfect job. Downloading and using the format in this template helps HCPM get qualified candidates in front of our clients faster. We accept resumes in any format, but when we have to do extensive reformatting on short deadlines, otherwise competitive candidates fail to make the cut. Help us help you by keeping it simple and follow this format.
