I’ve been asked recently by some candidates what recruiters ACTUALLY look for when screening a resume.
 
Results: Everyone has bullet points on their resume. Think more about how you impacted your environments and less about just the basic facts of what you did. Your resume should be about accomplishments and not just a laundry list that reads like a job description. (i.e. “Created new programming tool for current team) … but what many people forget is the results of this. Try something like “Created new programming tool for team THAT RESULTED IN”… and say what happened from it.
 
Responsibilities: I look to see what specific pieces they took ownership of and how much they contributed to the projects. When I view a resume that talks all about a project, but it never mentions what the candidate actually did for the project, I wonder if they had a very minor piece.
