Joe - one thing I would point out to help you out here. Every listing under your experience section is written like a story. People, especially recruiters, don't have time to read all this. My advice would be to remove the story format and have just bullet points that highlight accomplishments and business results. For example "designed and developed xx project using php/mysql"... "led the technical vision of xx".
- JoeCortopassi 15y agoYou think I should ditch the summary part altogether, or just put some bullet points above it?
- tarekayna 15y agoI would ditch the summary altogether. You would mention this stuff when recruiters ask you in details. Here is what I base this on: "Research has shown that your impression of someone is generally based on the average of available information, not the sum. So telling people one great thing about yourself will leave them with a better impression of you than telling one great thing and one pretty good one". Pitch Anything - Oren Klaff http://books.google.com/books?id=P3EFa-WuMMkC&pg=PA98&dq=average+available+information+%22pitch+anything%22&hl=en&ei=GwuZTrbGJK7XiAKszLmqDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&sqi=2&ved=0CC0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false http://books.google.com/books?id=P3EFa-WuMMkC&pg=PA98... So just provide bullet points of the highlights, the accomplishments and the business results.
