How long do potential employees look at a resume?

Answer:
If you are responding to an advertised position you will likely only get 15-20 seconds on the first glance, as screeners quickly go through the pile putting them in Yes, and No piles.

the YES pile will then get a second review of about 30-60 seconds.

you have to make a good first impression, so its really important that your resume is put together with the right content and format.
