Adam
- Challenge: Trouble Highlighting Skills and Career Progression
- Writer: David West
Adam had worked in the IT field for more than 15 years and 12 of those at the same company. Feeling his career stagnating at the same, non-technical company, he felt he needed to move on. In designing his own resume, he had trouble highlighting his skills and career progression in a clear, concise format. Adam’s resume had long lists of technical tools, skills, and experience interspersed with block paragraphs of duties. Two features often listed as most off-putting for hiring authorities.
Through a careful rewrite and focus on inviting formatting, we were able to create a concise, informative, and appealing resume showcasing Adam’s skills, accomplishments, experience, and career progression.
