Just one page enough for freshers because you mentioned short and simple?!
So in my opinion for freshers online courses will be highly appreciated while seeing our resume. Because now a days no one are hiring freshers and if hired they are mainly asking about what courses you have done.
I am left confused when I see 1-3 years experience needed for freshers, I really need to know secret how freshers can enter their specific fields?
ATS friendly resumes is what matters most now. With hundreds of applications, ATS software is the primary gatekeeper, esp. in corporate world, which filters the resumes based on keywords given in executive summary, skills, etc. according to the job description provided.
Nowadays since many companies have automatic hiring protocols ATS friendly resume is needed. Also we need to connect with the talent acquisition manager also to get noticed easily.
ATS friendly resumes are very much needed.
