Snippets: catching attention

The resume is not the place for you to write an essay. Leave that behind you. In the resume, your personal description should be brief and concise. Your achievements should be highlighted as bullet points. This little open secret will allow interviewers to read faster and understand you better. Remember, your resume is likened to a stepping stone. It’s the first critical piece to lure interviewers to consider you. So don’t let them fish for information in an essay. Help them to catch their attention with brief, precise bullet points.
