The Intricate story of a Résumé

While once a résumé was supposed to chronicle your jobs and employers in a reasonably accurate fashion, there’s a refreshing shift in this thinking. A résumé no longer needs to sound like a stop-start narrative. Instead it ought to appear as a compelling story-telling document with a story that is relevant, factual and consistent with your personal brand. Context is the key when you are convincing someone that you can indeed make a difference. Hence your résumé needs to showcase a story about each of your accomplishments, as opposed to just listing them.

Despite a wealth of experience, if you’re not getting the sort of response you are seeking, give your résumé a second-look and ask yourself if it recounts the story of your career or simply recites a bunch of facts. While résumés have tremendous impact on the number and quality of interviews, from that point on, the "story" has to come from your own lips! My endeavor is to lend a ‘voice’ to your story.

I know you have a great story, I'd love to help you narrate it right!
