Instead of the standard objective line that runs across the top of older formats of resumes, create a title or headline for your resume, similar to a title you would give an essay or book. The title should describe your career focus (for instance, "Sales Management Professional"). If you have a specific industry of focus that will be of interest to prospective recruiters, place that in the title. So for instance, if you are a sales manager at car dealership, your title would be "Sales Management Professional -- Automotive."
Under the title, list your degree (if applicable). You will expand on this later, but you should immediately show the recruiter your attributes at the top of the resume. Next, write a short one- or two-line objective. For example, "Seeking a career at a prominent car dealership where I can guide sales representatives and increase sales."
The next section of the resume should list your experience in bullet points. This is a list, also called a key-skill list, that you pull together from your relevant jobs and training. Tell the recruiter all of the duties and tasks that you performed at previous jobs, but there is no need to specifically list the corresponding job. You can talk about each job in more detail at the interview.
In the third section of your resume, list all of the relevant jobs that you held (most recent first). Include the name of the business, city and state, position held (official title), and the time period you worked there. If you held more than one position at one company, list all positions into sub-bullets along with the length of time you worked in that capacity.
In the last part of your resume, list your educational experience (most recent first). Include the name of the school, city and state, the degree or diploma that you earned, and the year of graduation.
