"RESUME BLUNDERS" - Johnny Miller 

 

.

.

In my contracts management career, I have written numerous resumes. 

 

Also, I have reviewed many resumes of people looking for a job. A resume is a summary of your qualifications, professional experience, accomplishments, skills, education, and professional affiliations. The primary purpose of a resume is to get your foot in the door. It is often said that a resume does its job successfully if it does not exclude you from further consideration for employment.
