The challenge is to condense this into a resume and keep it focused. Current thinking is that a resume must not exceed two pages, should highlight your accomplishments and work history, outline your personal and professional goals, and demonstrate how you would add value to your new employer. It should be clean, concise, and use action verbs that bring your achievements to the fore. The highlights should be attention-grabbers placed strategically near the top. Each resume should be tailored to match the advertised position and the style of the employing organization. Too much information adds to clutter; if it's hard for the Human Resources person to scan, it will end up on the pile of rejections.
So what do I say, and what do I leave unsaid for the sake of brevity and clarity? I have a new strategy... an online, hyperlinked resume. I'll keep you posted....
