That's a cover letter.
You're not helping an overworked/exasperated resume reader by writing prose in your resume, IMO (for what it's worth...). Resume should be bulletized chronological work history with most relevant/interesting stuff getting a sentence or two of explanation.
Leave long-form prose to the cover letter. And that is a pretty good cover letter, zackzackzack.
- jsprinkles 15y agoSometimes I'd much rather have a little bit of detail on an accomplishment or point than a couple sentences of a bullet point. If I end up confused because of someone sticking to this rule, I get annoyed.
- mattdeboard 15y agoYeah but it's so hard to tell when it's appropriate. It's subjective. I think everyone just has to find what works for them and go with it, hopefully achievements speak for themselves (with the help of a good cover letter).
