I like the general advice here, as I love the rest of the site! Especially, I agree that it’s essential to have a simple, clear format as pictured here. Your name front and center is vital – people need to be able to quickly associate a name with your resume and this virtually guarantees that your name will be noticed.

One improvement I suggest is to use the bullets under each job solely for accomplishments and impact statements. Those will stand out, as they should. Employers want to know what you did for another employer, as your past experience and impact is the best indicator of your future performance. With my clients, I like to use a short (2-4 lines) paragraph to describe the general responsibilities and scope of jobs, followed by 2 to 5 accomplishment bullets.
