Sales Executive Resume Sample - Before and After

This executive would like to transition to a new sales industry. The Before version of the resume did not relay that message to the reader.

In the after version of the resume, observe how the writer has positioned him to accomplish this by de-emphasizing the industry and emphasizing his transferable skills in the title and the summary.

There were also some formatting issues in the before resume. Since “I” is understood, the writer deleted them while utilizing the preferred style in “resume-speak” referred to as first person using a silent “I”. The advantage is retaining the “reach-out-and-touch” feel that comes from first person while eliminating the repetitive “I” from the text.
