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.

"If a resume is messy or unattractive, that's the first considerable strike against a candidate. Aside from the look and vibe of the resume, I look at three primary factors regarding the content. One, I look for at least two stand-out accomplishments highlighted on the resume. Two, I check if the applicant has included measurable or tangible results. Three, I look for evidence of customization for the role to which they've applied. When a candidate has clearly put in the effort to customize their resume for my specific job opening and capture my attention with results, I am much more interested in reaching out to them for a pre-screen interview. Of course, once they have passed that litmus test, then I move on to ensure they have the best relevant experience, the appropriate education if required, and strong tenure in past positions. If a candidate meets all of those benchmarks, I give them a call! Are these similar to the determining factors that Facebook Recruiters use to assess an applicant's resume?"
