Prioritize the Content of Your Resume
Another
big mistake that job seekers make is to list very important data in
the lower sections of their job descriptions. As you compile statements
for your resume, prioritize them by importance, impressiveness and
relevance to the job you want. Remember that a strong statement which
uses power words and quantifies will affect every statement under
it. Read the two examples below. Which one has the most impact?
Unprioritized:
Maintained records control, filing, office supply purchasing and equipment
maintenance. Managed front office functions to support the President,
Vice President and staff of 20 Sales Representatives.
