As you create
your resume, your primary objective should be to present data in a clear,
easy-to-read manner.Generally speaking,
providing Professional Experience and Career Accomplishments in a bulleted
format will offer information in an easily digestible format.Why?
In this economy,
hiring managers are busier than ever, scanning more and more applicant
resumes.When faced with a document
that is text heavy, featuring blocks of uninterrupted type, next to one
in which that same data is presented in a clean, easy-to-read bulleted
format, which do you think the hiring manager will choose?
An example:
Paragraph format
Configured
and supported company’s PC’s in heterogeneous LAN environment with over
350 users; supported company LAN/WAN, including installation and configuration
of company routers, switches, and hubs. Led three person team supporting
operations for Novell 4.11 file, print, Unix, and Windows NT 4.0 servers,
as well as Windows NT 4.0 workstations, Windows 95 & 98 desktops, and
remote access laptops. Administered and managed security for remote access
service through Windows NT 4.0 servers to access corporate LAN/WAN. Designed/developed
standard desktop environment and prepared system images for deployment.
Supported Lotus Notes 4.6 clients, including remote replication of server
databases. Wrote and distributed procedures for end-users and technicians
for upgrading and implementing system/software roll-outs.

In the first example, the data is uninterrupted,
dense, and daunting. The second example, on the other hand, allows the
hiring manager to pause and digest the data before moving on to the next
sentence.
