How well does the “experience” section of your resume convey what you can do for an employer putting you on a new career path?
This section should be clear and concise. Accomplishments are by far the most important content of the experience on your resume. They should be brief and factual.
Your accomplishments will have more impact if they are quantified. This gives them more credibility. If an accomplishment was as a member of a team, saying so will show you are a team player.
