I once heard a recruiter say they will look at a resume for literally 15 seconds before deciding whether it's a keeper or a discard. So the most important thing is to make sure it's formatted cleanly and organized so it can be skimmed quickly. Small details may matter, but not on first impression. And putting a summary up top may be helpful. You don't want to have someone look at it and have to put a lot of time into figuring out what you're trying to convey.
Great comment - very informative, thank you!

For me what draws my attention is majorly measurable achievements and past experiences.
I struggle with remembering specific details, i.e., the measurable numbers, so I leave those off a lot. Trying to keep track of them to add because that is supposed to be something that really catches eyes.
