Resume Paragraph Style
As you write your resume, make it your primary objective to present
your information in a clear, easy-to-read manner.
Generally speaking, providing Professional Experience or Career
Accomplishments in a bulleted format will offer information in
an easily-digestible format.
Bullets vs. Paragraphs
Hiring managers are busier than ever, reading more and more applicant
resumes. When faced with a resume that is heavy with blocks of
uninterrupted text, verses one in which the information is presented
in a clean, easy-to-read, bulleted format, which do you think a
hiring manager will choose?
Here's an example of a resume paragraph without bullets:
Configured and supported company's PC's in heterogeneous LAN environment
with over 350 users; supported company LAN/WAN, including installation
and configuration of company routers, switches, and hubs. Led three
person team supporting operations for Novell 4.11 file, print,
Unix, and Windows NT 4.0 servers, as well as Windows NT 4.0 workstations,
Windows 95 & 98 desktops, and remote access laptops. Administered
and managed security for remote access service through Windows
NT 4.0 servers to access corporate LAN/WAN. Designed/developed
standard desktop environment and prepared system images for deployment.
Supported Lotus Notes 4.6 clients, including remote replication
of server databases. Wrote and distributed procedures for end-users
and technicians for upgrading and implementing system/software
rollouts.
Here's the same resume paragraph in a bulleted format:
- Configured and supported company's PC's in heterogeneous LAN
environment with over 350 users; supported company LAN/WAN, including
installation and configuration of company routers, switches,
and hubs.
- Led three person team supporting operations for Novell 4.11
file, print, Unix, and Windows NT 4.0 servers, as well as Windows
NT 4.0 workstations, Windows 95 & 98 desktops, and remote
access laptops.
- Administered and managed security for remote access service
through Windows NT 4.0 servers to access corporate LAN/WAN.
- Designed/developed standard desktop environment and prepared
system images for deployment.
- Supported Lotus Notes 4.6 clients, including remote replication
of server databases.
- Wrote and distributed procedures for end-users and technicians
for upgrading and implementing system/software rollouts.
In the first paragraph, the information is uninterrupted and too
dense, making it harder to determine the applicant's experience.
The second paragraph presents the same information more clearly.
