I agree and I would further state. that companies want to know what your core strengths are and what you can do for them. The second page tells them where you've done this. This is secondary, and usually the HR person can't remember your resume past the first page!!!

I am going paste kind of what the first page of my resume looks like for you Thomas. The introduction is my Executive Summary and the line is my Core Qualifications follows. Executive Summary

Seeking managerial position in Manufacturing, Product Development or Program Management within the medical device industry. I have extensive experience that includes management-level positions in product development and manufacturing environments. My background includes leading teams and managing 8 plants for process, tooling and engineering and managing a budget of $3 million and holding full P&L responsibility. I have been recognized frequently by upper management for my contributions to groundbreaking product development and launch. I excel in establishing a focus for work forces, providing motivational support, and inspiring top performance from team members as a leader and mentor. I offer a diversified business acumen and expertise in engineering disciplines, with an analytical, strategic, and global mindset that I apply to all initiatives and goals. I am now seeking the opportunity to leverage my experience, expertise, and broad skill sets in a challenging leadership role. Core Qualifications

Project Management ~ Design Control, etc ~Leadership `Design for Manufacturing ~Plastics Engineering ~Polymer Chemistry (Patents in Polymer Alloying) ~Lean Manufacturing (Certified) ~Total Quality Management ~Visionary ~Automation and Assembly ~Operations Management

The next ten are on the other side which I started should give you the concept. Resume Builder is a good place to build your resume. Oh by the way it took me ten tries before I was happy with my resume Design Control Creative Processes Mentoring Material Sciences Risk Management Vendor Sourcing Strategic Planning Team Player Strong Analytical Skills The Core Qualification Section in centered and the listed of item have a bullet in front. It is balanced so I have ten on one side and ten on the other side of the Core Qualifications section.

You only have 15 seconds for someone to review your front page.Best you make it a home run.

These key words are critical. The Hiring Manager already knows my Qualifications without having read my resume.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Bob Alvarez

Robert, anyway you can show us an example of the outline to your resume, I've changed mine a hundred times on the advice of several people and I'm still striking out, thanks

Thomas

Good idea Robert. I'll try it and hope for the same results. Thanks

Hey Robert: Liked your comment but need a little clarification. I have my name and contact info. at the top of my resume followed by my work experience. In the body of the work experience, I use words like QuickBooks, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, V-2, etc. Are these the key words you are referring to? I had my resume reviewed by a professional resume writer but I doubt he knew about the Internet changes you referred to.

This is totally great advice, Robert! Thanks for sharing with the community
