How to Write a Winning Resume

TL;DR: Craft your narrative, then make every word count.

Rules

  1. Your resume must have narrative.
    • Narrative must be obvious and consistent.
    • Don't make them guess - micro test each line.
  2. Every word must earn it's place.
    • Without narrative, it's just words.
    • Take each line and ask "Why is this here?"
    • What message are you trying to convey?
    • Is it there "just because" or "couldn't hurt"? Don't.
