3 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Resumé In Just 10 Minutes

What is it exactly that you want to happen when somebody reads this resume?

1. Prioritize results and readability over everything else.
Deleting extra stuff.
Get to the highest impact fewer things.
Clarity of results and readability.

2. Remove exclusive language.

3. Write your personal mission statement and introduction letter.
Rewrite these.
1) At the very top of your resume, you need to explain, why this resume even exists, why are you even going for this position, why do care about development? This should only be 1 or 2 sentences. You need that space for other stuff.
2) Introduction letter:
This letter needs to be personal. Connect personally. Understand who this person is that you are sending the letter to and what they are looking for?
Explain your interest, explaining your values. Why you even care enough to send this letter?
Write a personal letter, that is from the position of, 'What are my motivations'?

Always seek that purpose driven way of thinking and communicating.
