Writing Resumes: Writing the Resume...
Employers are forever on the lookout for the resume that jumps out at them.
Not in terms of being fancy and pretty to look at.
Employers are looking to be impressed!
Reading your resume, they want to be able to feel that YOU are the right candidate for the job. They want to be able to do this before ever setting eyes on you!
Tall order, right? You betcha it is!
To begin, make a decision to discard any former knowledge learned about the “rules” of resume and cover letter writing. People commonly become stuck in “bad” writing habits from a time gone by.
It is almost a certainty that since you last wrote your resume, much has been learned and even more has been changed. This is as it should be, for everyday, very creative people are adding to the resume and cover letter writing arsenal. (Pg 4 "How to Write Empressive Resumes and Cover Letters")

In the Summary section of your resume, you can brag a little. In the Skills and Accomplishments section you can brag a little more.
This section will cap off all that qualifies you for your intended position. You will show your prospective employer that there can be no other and the journey stops with YOU! (Pg 9 "How to Write Empressive Resumes and Cover Letters")
