Resume Headings: What's In and Out

Resume headings are critical these days. They show one of two things:

1. You're savvy and in the know.

2. You're outdated and need a revamp.


So, take a look and tell me what you think...


Old- Summary of qualifications

New- Business Skill-set highlights


Old- Work history

New- Professional Expertise


Old- Interests/Hobbies/Personal Information (Take them all out!)

New- Community Involvement, Technology Capabilities, Professional Organizations


I highly suggest you may want to consider a radical departure from the norm. A resume is not a dry work history. Rather, it is a dynamic marketing tool of what you bring to the table. My next post will share a secret that I have been using for the last few weeks that employers really like.


Stay tuned.
