How to Create a Resume That Wins Interviews

A resume can either open doors or keep them closed. The head of manufacturing for an Ohio-based industrial products maker discovered this firsthand when he sought to make a job change last winter. He updated his resume in January and then contacted recruiters, answered Internet postings and started networking.

By April, his efforts had resulted in only two informal networking meetings. A friend urged him to revise his resume by strengthening his summary and emphasizing his accomplishments.

The revised resume began opening doors for him. He was invited to interview at several companies, and three pursued him aggressively with job offers. His top choice was a manufacturer located only six miles from his home, where he’s now manufacturing manager just two months after sending the company his revised resume.
