“Movies
rely
on
plots
to
move
the
story
forward.
Resumes
should
also
rely
on
themes
to
convey
certain
stories.”

Story
Spend
the
majority
of
your
<me
custom
wri<ng
your
resume
so
that
your
accomplishments
align
to
the
job
responsibili<es
Omit
anything
that
does
not
support
the
central
storyline
of
your
resume
Who
am
I?
How
did
I
get
here?
How
can
I
help
you?
Why
should
you
trust
me?

Plot
Instead
of
an
objec<ve
statement,
write
a
profile
that
establishes
credibility
and
builds
your
brand
on
the
benefits
an
employer
would
gain
from
hiring
you.
Highlight
the
impact
of
your
role
rather
than
simply
lis<ng
your
responsibili<es,
skills
and
strengths.
Show,
don’t
tell.

Design
Theme
Use
Readable
Fonts
–
Use
a
serif
for
sec<on
headers
and
a
sans-­‐serif
for
the
body.
The
change
in
font
creates
clear
visual
separa<on
that
a;racts
the
eye
to
important
informa<on
Bullets,
Not
Paragraphs
–
A
recruiter
will
glaze
right
over
large
chunks
of
text
on
a
resume
because
paragraphs
don’t
stand
out.
List
your
accomplishments
in
bullets
to
improve
the
chances
of
catching
the
recruiter’s
eye.
Create
SeparaRon
–
Separa<ng
the
body
of
text
with
white
space
is
important.
Avoid
uniform
spacing
&
bolded
text,
underlines
or
italics
to
separate
sec<ons

Tips
1.
Pay
a;en<on
to
job
pos<ngs.
Carefully
read
the
language
and
keywords
that
are
included
and
use
those
in
your
resume.
2.
Results
and
achievements
with
quan<fiable
data
are
what
recruiters
and
hiring
managers
are
looking
for:
Don’t
list
your
daily
tasks
or
du<es.

Stop
using
generic
words
like
‘develop,’
‘manage,’

‘maintain.’
Be
compelling
in
how
you
explain
your
achievements
through
engaging
ac<on
words.
