Clear, compelling text
1) Write full sentences to describe the roles
you've noted under each section.
2) Begin each sentence with a Power Verb.
3) Rank the bullet points in order of your
most important accomplishments.

Never include any descriptions on your resume
that aren't true or don't fairly represent your
experience.
Never overstate.
Most importantly, never try to do this alone!
Always ask for help reviewing yours.
