It is estimated that Facebook receives around 250,000 job applications every year. That is a quarter of a million resumes! As you know, Facebook does not expect its recruiters to comb through every single resume that comes into its candidate portal. However, the resumes that do justify getting the attention of its Recruiters are stand-out for a reason.

Share with the interviewer how you approach reviewing a resume and what you look for to determine if a candidate should be shortlisted and offered an interview. Be as specific as possible when you answer. For instance, share your thought process and outline how you assess and eliminate applicant resumes. If you use any tools in your approach, be sure to mention these.
