Then there’s Ben Prozinski, an IT star who didn’t give hiring managers a clue about why they should care. His resume began midsentence - he had nothing above his work experience but his name and contact information!

And Ben’s job descriptions, the meat and potatoes of a resume, were more a series of thoughts strung together that did not tie-in to one another at all. He “executed and lead onshore and offshore projects,” “drove integration and performance management” and “Facilitated successful exchange between leadership, business and technical stakeholders.” This was nearly all he explained about his most recent job! That who-cares stuff will not get you calls, folks.

Now Ben’s resume not only paints a clear picture of what he did, but also lists the value that he added and gives the reader a reason to pick up the phone and call him for an interview.

Well, Readers, I hope that gives you some insight into the difference between writing your resume like a product manual or having a professional write it for you like a great advertisement.

Have a great week, Readers!
