Abstract
Too many resumes don't capture attention and engage the hiring teams. Sadly, most include boring summaries and common opening statements that don't brand / market the candidate. In the top 25% of the page, one must feel like a friendly handshake and introduction to the person behind the resume.
Recruiters receive ineffective job postings disguised as resumes, all function with no value. The career experience section, the heart of the resume, must pump value.
