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 … <descriptive role, such as “enterprise software product manager in Silicon Valley.”>
I have … <your top-level most impactful achievements in one or two sentences. E.G., “Driven multiple products from concept to release to market acceptance.”>
I have a reputation for … <something that is valuable and differentiates you. E.G., “...building credibility fast with both technology teams and business stakeholders.”>
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.
