Sample Short-Form Resumes for Job-Seekers Posting Resumes Online
Career expert Rick Gillis developed the Short-Form Resume -- a combination accomplishments and keyword-driven resume -- designed for when job-seekers post a resume to a job board or apply for a position through an employer's online employment site.
Gillis states in his book, Job! Learn How to Find Your Next Job In 1 Day, (Read our review of the book here) that the Short-Form Resume fulfills three key criteria:
- To impress professional recruiters with the focused, razor-sharp information it contains
- To minimize age discrimination(for you and mature job-seekers alike)
- To successfully navigate the resume-filtering software (applicant tracking systems) that can keep your resume out of the hands of recruiters
There are some specific guidelines for how to address your resume headline (to the job opening), objective (focused on future value), selected accomplishments (stressing results), work experience (concise), and keywords (generic to field, as well as specific to job opening). More information can be found in his book and on his Website.
