For this section, I would simply list your experience, tools, and techniques so I can check that box. Maybe I'm looking for Jira, SQL, and Scrum. You do need that for the HR filters, but I'm not going to read it, I'm going to skim it for the few things I want. The next several bullets are way too wordy to tell me about your skills. I want to know you have global experience, you are IT-focused, and I'd like to know the industries you've worked with. So we will start at the top by listing the title you want:Įxperienced with global enterprise IT deployments in the communications, banking, and retail industries. I'm going to assume you want a PM job and not a consulting job. Let's try to rewrite this to be direct and to the point. The rest is useless because I stopped reading. Yeah, I'll pass, I'm looking for a project manager. You have 8 years of experience? I should see that in your work experience section. You are accomplished? In what? You are a professional? I hope so, or we won't be talking. Most of this sentence tells me things I will see later. Is that the job you want me to hire you for? Your first sentence is also horribly wordy:Īccomplished professional with over 8 years of extensive experience in IT consulting comprising of Migration, Build/Release Management and Change/Incident Management performing duties such as gathering requirements, creating automation, deployment, support and troubleshooting. Your first bullet tells me you are an IT consultant. I want one sentence that summarizes who you are to me. Let's get practical and go through each section:įirst Section: Too wordy to tell me your skills. If you can draw more attention to those your job hunt should become much more successful. Overall, you have loads of great achievements in your resume. Otherwise place it as a bullet point achievement in your career experience, "Received xyz award, for meritorious achievement of abc." ![]() Only put the company award here if you feel it is meaningful outside of that company. PMP, Professional Project Manager (Dates) You want:ĪWS Certified Solutions Architect (Dates) You worked hard for those, and they carry some street cred, draw attention to those. Two heavy-weight certs, and you have that stuffed in 1.5 lines?! You have an AWS solutions architect cert, and PMP. ![]() Make the section for your rewards and achievements larger. ![]() Each job role should have no more than five bullet points, and you'll find as jobs pile up over the years, you're relegated to less than that. Quoting duties or business requirements are of negative value, as you lost time to make an impression on the reader. I'd drop all the low-value bullet points, and focus on the meaningful, measurable items.įor example, customer satisfaction and ROI bullet points are good. For that you need more white space, and solid flow. You want a resume that flows well, and draws the reader in. This is a wall of text I'll be bluntly honest when I say I'd simply discard this for the next resume.Ī resume that is visually appealing is more likely to be read studies show many resumes are only glanced at for 5-10 seconds to make a first impression, so if your resume looks cluttered? It gets discarded.
