Building Resume Impact

How should you build your brand in your resume and highlight your experience?

Are you generating interest from the top of the resume or making the reader work too hard?

Use headlines to communicate your brand and focus your resume. This headline can be adjusted based on the specific job you are applying for. 

Group the most relevent experience together under the summary or a relevant experience section to strengthen your message. Additional experience can be communicated in a separate section or experience summary. 

Additional tips and samples

Organize your content in the way that makes the most sense for your background and your targeted audience. Develop your content first and then organize with formating.

I'm excited to share more tips and advice at a workshop on September 27 at the Town and Country Public Library in Elburn.
