I often find myself being asked to critique people’s resumes. Outlining a few details before I even view the person’s resume is not uncommon. Two things I mention are return on investment statements and impact statements. Those are always lacking, or they can be fleshed out a bit more. They are statements in a person’s resume that quantifies their contributions. It’s outside the “I’ve done this and that”. People also have a hard time coming up with a good format which includes layout, margins, spacing and type face. Aside from Episode 003 covering resumes in some detail, I have come up with some resume templates that you can use. You will find them under Resources => Job Seekers. My hope is that the templates compliment what I talk about in Episode 003 – Resumes. They will give you a good starting point for your own resume.
Enjoy.
