banjoman BS: Argggh! Building a new resume (41) RE: BS: Argggh! Building a new resume 04 Jun 13


Hi - I spent many years helping others to compile their resume and offer the following:
Dont try and write your life story - be precise and centre on your experience.
It may be useful to use a phrase such as- Looking on the end of current employment as a challenge (or an opportunity) to use experience in a new field (area) of employment.
From your initial request, it seems obvious that you have a lot of "Interpersonal" skills (Get on well with people) which you should emphasise.
Recent research suggests that the average time a prospective employer takes to read a resume is about 2.5 minutes so you have to grab their attention from the start.
Very best of luck - get back to me if you want any more info
