Trying to create a PM type resume

What help are you specifically looking for? Resume? You can find tons of samples online.

I would suggest your résumé line up to scope, schedule, costs and realized benefits. I don't mean just defining your work; I also mean showing your accomplishments in those terms. Was the whole scope of work delivered on time and on budget? What were the benefits of that work: savings, growth, ...?

To add to what Stephane wrote:
- review several job descriptions for the PM jobs you are interested in
- rewrite your experience in a way that aligns with those jobs
- be prepared to customize your resume and cover letter for each job you apply for, to align with the job description

I suggest the book Winning Resumes by Robin Ryan.

PMs gather so much experience through many projects that a classic chronological resume turns into an autobigraphy which no hiring manager will want to read and analyze to determine if you're a good fit.

The book covers functional and hybrid functional/chronological resumes, as well as how to tailor it to individual job postings, and a focus on condensing it all down to one page. It's not about how to write a resume that you spam to the entire world, but rather how to relate your experience directly to each potential job from the hiring manager's perspective.

Thanks Keith,

I will look into the book and like you say, a chronological resume does sound a bit like an autobiography. I looked at mine many times and it does feel that way.

Thanks again!

Fair warning, Kim. Given my 40-year work history, I've tried functional résumés just to be told to send a chronological one instead.
