Net, a killer resume has four components:
• It begins with a clear objective of the type(s) of opportunities you desire.
• Each position has two elements, weighted 80/20 to accomplishments, beginning with a brief outline of major responsibilities.
• Provide quantifiable accomplishments for each role
• Skew the emphasis on the document to the most recent five years
