It is a mistake to think of your resume as a history of your past, as
a personal statement or as some sort of self expression. Sure, most of
the content of any resume is focused on your job history. But write from
the intention to create interest, to persuade the employer to call you.
If you write with that goal, your final product will be very different
than if you write to inform or catalog your job history.
Most people write a resume because everyone knows that you have to
have one to get a job. They write their resume grudgingly, to fulfill
this obligation. Writing the resume is only slightly above filling out
income tax forms in the hierarchy of worldly delights. If you realize
that a great resume can be your ticket to getting exactly the job you
want, you may be able to muster some genuine enthusiasm for creating a
real masterpiece, rather than the feeble products most people turn out.
