Sure, make sure that along the top, and down the right side you have power-words. Achieved, charged with, succeeded, professional, produced etc... I don't mean write them in the margins, but find ways to start your sentences with them. Format: Name Address, phone, email three words to describe your profession ________________ A one paragraph personal statement on why you rock. ________________ 12 or so bullet points in three columns on your competencies ________________ Education ________________ Personal achievements/awards ________________ Work experience Job title Company Start date/end date Summary of responsibilities List of accomplishments __________________ Technical proficiencies __________________ Community involvement That's the format I use. Hope it helps.
