Resumes Tips
Your Resume is the first impression when looking for a job or contract. It is important that it reflects the facts and that those facts are professionally and accurately presented. Your resume will be read by both a person and a computer scanner system, so it does makes sense to include industry abbreviations and buzz terms as much as possible but to also include more detailed explanations; so not to assume your audience knows what they mean.
A consultant may have more than one version of their resume with the same facts but highlight different areas or responsibilities ie: a team lead resume and a team member resume. There are various methods, formats and types of resumes. See more information of putting one together at:
