Five key concepts for effective and powerful resume:

Your resume is your marketing tool, not a personnel document.

It is about you the job hunter, not just about the jobs you've held.

It focuses on your future, not your past.

It emphasizes your accomplishments, not your past job duties or job descriptions.

It documents skills you enjoy using, not skills you used just because you had to.
