Other thing I’d add – that giant list of technical buzzwords under “Skills” that some people do – put it in the back. It’s search engine fodder for the job sites, not interesting to me taking half the first page. When people assert skills in dozens of things, I usually just start picking things and asking questions – usually doesn’t turn out well for the candidate because spelling a buzzword != knowing anything about it.
Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> w – 312.625.1438 | c – 312.731.3132 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christopher Bodnar Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2014 8:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] IT resumes? I agree with Brian, the format hasn't changed..... but then again I see a lot of variance in formatting styles. If you are looking for recommendations , here are some things I'll point out: Have your address listed ( want to know if you are a local candidate or not) Omit the Summary/Goals at the beginning of the resume, this can be covered during an interview List dates for work experience (i,e.: from 10/2005 - to 4/2013). Wide gaps are acceptable, but be prepared to discuss them, it will be asked. In work experience list detailed accomplishments, not topics. For example I would prefer to see something like this: Developed SCCM Task Sequences to update system files across 15 sites. Instead of this: Managed SCCM Christopher Bodnar Enterprise Architect I, Corporate Office of Technology:Enterprise Architecture and Engineering Services Tel 610-807-6459 3900 Burgess Place, Bethlehem, PA 18017 [email protected]<mailto:> [cid:[email protected]] The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America www.guardianlife.com<http://www.guardianlife.com/> From: Mathew Shember <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: 01/22/2014 11:24 PM Subject: [NTSysADM] IT resumes?

I haven’t had to use one for my last 2 jobs and was wondering if they have changed in format or style.
