Tell a Story

Sometimes the hardest part of the resume writing process is the challenge of writing a great resume every time. It can help to envision the resume as a story with a solid beginning, middle and end. Like a storyteller, we weave the tale together. How did this person get to where they are today? Phrases such as, "Recruited to..." or "Selected to..." show a desirable candidate being plucked from the masses, while phrases like "successfully transitioned to" show growth and movement.

Don't be afraid to be evocative in your writing. Infuse it with excitement and energy and watch the tale unfold.
