As you create your
resume, your primary
objective should be to
present data in a clear,
easy-to-read manner.
Generally speaking,
providing Professional
Experience and Career
Accomplishments in a
bulleted format will
offer information in an
easily digestible
format. Why?
In this economy, hiring
managers are busier than
ever, scanning more and
more applicant resumes.
When faced with a
document that is text
heavy, featuring blocks
of uninterrupted type,
next to one in which
that same data is
presented in a clean,
easy-to-read bulleted
format, which do you
think the hiring manager
will choose?
An example:
Paragraph format
Configured and
supported company’s
PC’s in
heterogeneous LAN
environment with
over 350 users;
supported company
LAN/WAN, including
installation and
configuration of
company routers,
switches, and hubs.
Led three person
team supporting
operations for
Novell 4.11 file,
print, Unix, and
Windows NT 4.0
servers, as well as
Windows NT 4.0
workstations,
Windows 95 & 98
desktops, and remote
access laptops.
Administered and
managed security for
remote access
service through
Windows NT 4.0
servers to access
corporate LAN/WAN.
Designed/developed
standard desktop
environment and
prepared system
images for
deployment.
Supported Lotus
Notes 4.6 clients,
including remote
replication of
server databases.
Wrote and
distributed
procedures for
end-users and
technicians for
upgrading and
implementing
system/software
roll-outs.
The same information in
a bulleted format
-
Configured and
supported company’s
PC’s in
heterogeneous LAN
environment with
over 350 users;
supported company
LAN/WAN, including
installation and
configuration of
company routers,
switches, and hubs.
-

team supporting

Windows NT 4.0
servers, as well as
Windows NT 4.0
workstations,
Windows 95 & 98
desktops, and remote
access laptops.
-

-

In the first example,
the data is
uninterrupted, dense,
and daunting. The second
example, on the other
hand, allows the hiring
manager to pause and
digest the data before
moving on to the next
sentence.
