The primary thrust of a resume that most people get wrong is that it should tell a prospective employer what value they will get out of hiring you--it's not a tool to say, "I did these things." It's better if you try to say, "here are how the things I did benefited the companies I worked for."<br /><br />LinkedIn seems to work well for praise from others. I put a couple small bits of self-praise on my resume (a tag line), but I also describe my job roles in very positive--yet honest--terms.<br /><br />I think the elements of your above paragraph are ok, with the exception of "I can take any team"--that sounds like over-confidence. I actually like the "neverending enthusiasm"--it sounds genuine (and I know it is WRT you). I also think resumes should reveal your personality, and this last sentence does a good job of that.<br /><br />Of course, resumes are of limited value anyway. I view them as adverts. As such, their most important characteristic is that they need to make you stand out from the rest of the bozos.Jeff Langrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499693020049210645noreply@blogger.com
