Information Captured in the Resume Builder
Summary
A few sentences that generally describe the work you do including the platforms you work on, the roles you play, and the years of experience you have. The summary should not contain clichés or any throwaway phrases.
Work Experience
A history of work experiences in chronological order including:
- A heading with the company name, your functional roles, and the dates worked.
- A sub-heading briefly describing specific technologies used.
- A sentence or two summarizing the work experience plus the top four project highlights/achievements.
Professional Skills
A table summarizing your skills including years of experience and proficiency level for each. This information is placed right at the top, giving hiring managers an immediate snapshot of your abilities.
Education
Your related educational and training experience. Exclude information that is not pertinent.
The Philosophy of a Resume
There are some common misconceptions about what a resume should be.
- A resume is not your life story or a comprehensive description of every project you worked on.
- A resume is not a bland general document typed in 10 pt. Courier font.
Therefore, a resume should look professional, give a quick snapshot of who you are, and provide important detail when a manager is ready to drill down. It should be viewed as a marketing piece and is often the first and only chance to grab attention. A resume's key function is to create the initial interest necessary to get the interview.
