TOO MANY WANK WORDS

    That’s how a professional resume is “supposed” to read. Especially when it’s been done by a resume writer.
    I don’t like it but it’s the standard

    @badcopnodonuts shouldn't it be more like
    > worked with multi disciplinary teams
    >Cultivated career in digital communications

    Third person, minus the name (fits first person too but without the "I")

    Or maybe it's just different at different places?

    @RememberMe nope, that's how I was taught to do it, even by resume writers.

    -> achieved a reduction of manual processing by automation across the business

    -> competent with working over multiple projects concurrently

    -> Expertise in x, y, z

    Ect.

    @C0D4 same here, and I'm guessing mine worked because I got through stuff with it.

    @RememberMe well if it ain't broken, don't fix it 🙃

    I guess it depends on who's reading it and what they prefer, but most people are skimming through for key words and experience anyway.

    @C0D4 indeed
    And mine were made for government/large companies/universities, where stuff has to jump out instantaneously because the person reading it has very little time. If it works there is guess it'd work anywhere. Plus I like the professional kind of feeling it gives, especially the "I'm not here to waste your time, here's what you need to know" kind of thing.

    @badcopnodonuts it would be amazing to make others pay you for making them look like idiots to hiring managers. Ever wonder if those professional resume writers are giggling up a storm with every resume they "fix"?

    @aspenscythe They’re so cookie cutter too I bet they’re laughing all the way to the bank also...
