Resume Building

Myth vs Reality

Myth	Reality
You need an expensive resume writer	You need custom resume for each job
Your resume will be read by the HR Manager	Applicant Tracking Systems
Your entire professional history should be mentioned	What's in it for me? WIIFM
Responsibilities	Focus only on achievements
A resume is a document	A resume is your marketing brochure
	Resumes are scanned, not read

Aim for high-keyword match
craft your resume from the HR Manager's perspective, not yours
Instead of "I was responsible for client acquisitions", write "I acquired 3 clients in 6 months who contribute to 5% incremental revenue."
replace all responsibilities with achievements
Don't sell the bacon. Sell the sizzle!
