What interviewers will test first in London

Recruiters scan for role fit, delivery record, and keywords. For Operations Manager, your resume should show the projects or operations you ran, the budget, team, and timeline you managed, the methods and tools you used, and the result. A vague list of duties does not help. A specific line with budget size, team size, on-time delivery, cost saved, or process time cut works much better.

Check this before sending another application.
