Yesterday I participated in a LinkedIn survey about the length, style and of course, content of a resume. The results and comments are here. Take a look.
The comments are very interesting. The creator of the survey summarized them and a couple of themes emerged:
1. Length is also very important with 2 pages being ideal -
2. Accomplishments are the key to demonstrating whether or not a candidate "can" do the job or has actually "done" it previously - this is a huge difference -
3. If a candidate is unable to articulate their experience in a concise, compelling & memorable manner, how well will they communicate to others in the organization?
What do you think? What is the most important part of a resume?
