There are three kinds of "recession-proof" candidates that are in demand no matter what shape the economy is in, Jeff Hyman, an executive recruiter of 25 years, tells CNBC Make It : makers, shakers and takers.

Hyman recommends using bullet points under each work experience to highlight clear, quantifiable achievements and results, rather than describing your job responsibilities. It's also important to highlight specific examples of how you contribute to a team and the business's goals during a job interview.
