They would look for a few things - your experience and exposure, the roles responsibilities handled, achievements, age, remuneration, education and professional background.

Hello Zain,

Nice to advise you once again.

To answer your question precisely, considering the contemporary times where the educational standards, employment procedures and career levels have changed completely due to technological advancement worldwide, recruiters at first glance are looking for how or what is in there which could prove most beneficial and bring about maximum profit for their agency, institution, organization or company in a short span of time by making a dexterous use of your talents.

Hence, your resume should primarily highlight the points by which you could bring about a significant difference towards the center you are applying for so that you stand out from the others and get emloyed instantaneously.

Good Luck

They will look for their target rubrics related to the Job description.

Mainly it will be Education, Experience, Knowledge, Professional Skills, Professional Achievements & Activities.

 

I agree with Ashraf. 

Experience and qualifications should meet the requirements.

Thanks for invitation,

I do believe that they usually try to match mentioned "qualifications and experience" in CV on their hands, with "the job descriptions" they are looking for.
