On the advice of an experienced recruiter, I'm working on improving my resume.
For quite a while now, I've had it in my head to keep my resume to a single page. So, the descriptions are concise. Here's an example of a relevant experience entry (with the names changed to protect the innocent): <pre>
ACME Service Company Project Manager and Lead Developer
123 Main St, Pleasantville, MN 55123
� Provided consulting services on project management, J2EE and J2ME technologies
� Managed and led development of J2EE and J2ME based service tracking and scheduling
system to coordinate shuttle-bus maintenance and repairs</pre>(The maintenance was not actually for shuttle-buses. I'm using that here to further protect the innocent.)
This recruiter wants the dates of the project experience listed. He also wants much more description of the use of the system developed. I've been told to never mind keeping the resume to a single page and make it two pages long.
Adding the dates is easy enough. <pre>
ACME Service Company Project Manager and Lead Developer
123 Main St, Pleasantville, MN 55123 March 2003 - August 2003</pre>I had ideas earlier on detailing more of the developed system and its uses, but I'm a little tired at the moment. More from me tomorrow. I welcome your ideas.
