Sample Accomplishments Resume

Below is a sample of an "Accomplishments"  Resume.   It is the format used when you want to accent specific accomplishments that are in line with a specific job announcement.  The accomplishments are "front loaded" in the resume to catch the eye of the reviewer.  This is in contrast to a "Chronoligical" resume which presents information in the order of jobs done.  It has been said it you don't catch the eye of your interviewer in the first 1/2 page of your resume... your resume  may end up in the reject pile.  This is especially true if there are a significant number of resumes submitted for the job announcment.

As you look through the sample "Accomplishments" resume below, you  will see that all the significant elements of the resume are there including job search objective, job history/work experience, college degree, areas of expertise,  activities, etc. It is just that you lead with what expertise and accomplishments yo have. 

Always be thinking as you write or revise your resume....how you can distinguish yourself form other applicants.   Hope this information is helpful to you.

In support of you search,
