Sales Resume Pillars

The resume is not your calling card but your marketing broadcast piece that aims to persuade the reader or prospective employer that you are the right person for the position you are applying for. To support this image, you need to write a powerful resume to establish yourself in your chosen profession. Here are the pillars to writing a convincing sales resume:
1. Have a clear targeted objective (this is your signpost)
2. Observe differentiation (be uniquely you)
3. Be brief, concise and straightforward
4. Professional experience (emphasis on performance)
5. Drop the personal information (hobbies, religion, family are secondary importance)
6. Education (place only college degrees and above, it is assumed you passed high school if you have a college degree)
