Resume Review


I'm going to get the hang of this eventually...wink

I could really use some professional and honest review of my resume. I have experience in telecom, sales training and HR recruiting. What is the best way to include all my experience and career accomplishment without being too "wordy"?...Thanks smile

I would say that this is a great start.  While objective statements arenice they are very over used.  Everyone wants a job doing something. Besides that and objective statement does tend to lead to a narrowcareer field.  I would revise and submit with a resume summary at thetop of the page.  Something that is going to make someone stop and read.
Secondly, you have a great deal of experience.  In fact to muchlisted.  I can read your resume and know if you are the right or wrongperson for the job.  I have no reason to call you and get moredetails.  Try to limit the number of entries per job title to about 2or 3 strong points.  You want a recruiter to call you.
What about education?  Degree, classes, training?  If you have this place it near the top.

One additional note.  Use numbers and $ signs.  You are trying to paint a picture of what you have done.  What have you saved companies? How have you improved processes? How have you improved worker moral (leadership)?  Look at it from the eyes of a company executive.  What can this person do for me.

Also, proof, proof, proof.  Write leave for 1 day proof again repeat 3 times with a friend.

Good Luck
