Almost every job seeker has made the same, tragic resume-writing mistake at some point during their career.
Millions of people are making this mistake right now!
Too many people write their resumes with the wrong goal in mind. They want to fit in. They want to sound "professional." They end up writing their resume so that it sounds like every other job seeker's resume!
They write their resumes using such stiff, colorless language that all the good stuff disappears from the page.
Your personality, accomplishments and point of view get wiped away. Then you sound like just another battle drone -- no one special. That's a crime!
You are incredibly talented, vibrant and unique, but no one will know those things about you unless you bring them out in your resume!
