Should I drop off my resume in person?

Do recruiters read resumes?

Still short of time, recruiters scan for relevant content on a resume. Recruiters spend between 6-10 seconds on a resume, on an initial scan. If you pass this test, the recruiter will decide to read your resume in full. When recruiters read resumes, they focus on the most current role.
