In one Linkedin post, Nils Davis showed me how my resume (all of ours) should tell the story I want the hiring manager to know. Primarily that I am the role they are looking for.

Let’s face it, we have 6-10 seconds to get the hiring manager to know we are the one for them.

How?

Redesign our summary section.

Nils suggests the following format:

* I am a …

* I have …

* I have a reputation for …

This seems one heck of a lot better than a summary section with a bullet point list of skills.

Rebel Intrapreneurs are good at positioning themselves in their areas of expertise and selling themselves and their ideas. Nils and I discuss the importance of treating our resume as a sales letter.
