BCS Discusses Resumes For Career Transition
It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of the resume is to generate interest
LEAWOOD, Kan. - April 2, 2018 - PRLog -- BCS Overland Park/Leawood says that job seekers looking
to transition into new industries must keep a couple things in mind when preparing a resume. First, the
resume should be no more than two pages and include a profile, transferable skill sets and achievements on
page one. Executives spend on average only 15 – 25 seconds reviewing the first page of the resume to
determine if this is a viable candidate. The second page gives a work history, dates, training and education
without indicating the dates graduated. The resume should be very clear how the skills and
accomplishments will transfer to the new industry being pursued. It is important to keep in mind that the
purpose of the resume is to generate interest which leads to the interview. Current industries and dates are
shifted to the second page to prevent the employers from pigeonholing the candidate – keeping in mind that
the first page is the "hook".
