Near the top of the first page, include a Profile section that is focused, interesting, and unique. If your Profile fails to grab the readers attention, he or she might discard your resume without reading further. A Profile can be your first opportunity to sell yourself. For examples of effective Profiles, see Resumes 79, 92, 101, 109, 116, 123, and many others. In the Experience section, state achievements or accomplishments, not just duties or responsibilities. The reader often already knows the duties and responsibilities for a given position. Achievements, however, can be interesting. The reader probably considers life too short to be bored by lists of duties and responsibilities in a stack of resumes. See, for example, Resume 110. If you feel you must indicate duties, call attention to special or unusual duties you performed. For example, if you are an accountant, dont say that you prepared accounting reports and analyzed income statements and balance sheets. Thats like being a dentist and saying, I filled cavities and made crowns. What did you do that distinguished you from other accountants? To be noticed, you need to stand out from the crowd in ways that display your individuality, work style, and initiative. See, for example, Resume 103. Instead of just listing your achievements, present them as challenges or problems solved, indicating what you did when something went wrong or needed fixing. See, for example, Resumes 123 and 173. When your skills and abilities are varied, group them according to categories for easier comprehension. See, for example, Resumes 34, 59, 80, 96, and 162. Consider including a Highlights section to draw attention to special accomplishments or achievements. See, for example, Resumes 6, 12, 29, 82, and 94. Summarize your qualifications and work experiences to avoid having to repeat yourself in the job descriptions. See, for example, Resumes 12 and and 94. Create a prominent Expertise section that draws together skills and abilities you have gained in previous work experience. See, for example, Resumes 84, 111, 112, 113, 132, and 141.
