As a senior business development manager with countless achievements to his career record, Shane is the epitome of the bold, authentic, audacious executive.
Shane provided us with 57 pages of information plus a 13-page resume. The resume was table-based and included information including “reasons for leaving”, people he had called, networks he had made, salaries, sales negotiations and more. Clearly 70 pages was not on the list of “must have reads” for the average executive recruiter!
From 70 pages to three, this résumé now includes key achievements of this remarkable individual who is not only a business development executive of merit, but one who was and is concerned with increasing the quality of the skills of the team around him by creating new policies and procedures that optimised quality and responsiveness.
The résumé is easy-to-read with highlighted top achievements in bold at the beginning of each employment section designed to provide an in-your-face achievement that compels the reader to learn more.
The side bar “snapshot” area offers the reader general role specifications, so that the “duties” and details do not dilute the importance of the achievements.
There are many aspects of this resume that are designed to convey this bold, achievement-focused individual. From the manager’s quote in the top section of page one that cements Shane’s expertise early on, to the eye-catching graphic at the bottom of page one that provides unequivocal proof of his expertise in creating a pipeline of $52M from nothing in just a year, to the bold achievements, and side bar snapshots.
This is a bold, attention-grabbing résumé that is an easy-read and leaves the reader in no doubt as to what Shane is presenting.
