Keep job descriptions in the “Professional Experience” section short and load them with relevant key words.
Replace trite phrases like “responsible for” with robust action verbs like “managed” or “led.”
Limit your career history to the last 10 to 15 years.
Use white space to make your brand statement pop.
Add a graphic box listing your key areas of expertise along with a bulleted list of three to four hard-hitting examples of achievements that include monetized results.
Concentrate your efforts on the first page—especially the top. Put the “A” material upfront or the reader might never get to it.
