New Resume Polishes a Diamond in the Rough

New Resume Polishes a Diamond in the RoughNew Resume Polishes a Diamond in the RoughSoftware Project Manager Afzal Baradis resume was boxed in by long descriptions that said nothing about his accomplishments. A resume rewrite cut to the chase.After re-reading Afzal Baradis original resume three times, I had some vague idea that he developed software applications for financial systems but I didnt see any career progression or accomplishments. On paper, he seemed to be stuck doing the same, relatively low-level software-coding work for about 12 years. His resume had no profile paragraph just a two-line summary of his 18 years in software development.But a much more impressive story emerged after we talked on the phone for an hour. Over nearly two decades, Afzals job title had not changed very much but his scope of responsibilities had grown dramatically. In addition to software development, he had designed entire financial applications and acquired expertise in complex investment-an d-trading strategies.So we started his new resume with a profile section that sketches his career arc and three areas of exceptional competence. In addition to software development, hes quite experienced in product management, QA, managing offshore teams, absatzwirtschaft and investing strategies. Who knew?
