Hello all: I wrote resumes for people for years, but am noticing that the goal and purpose of a good quality resume is now more about telling stories than spitting out facts.

How have you tailored your resumes to tell stories? Care to share examples?

I honestly try to keep it simple but sometimes when you have diversified experience, you need to talk about every project so I personally start my resume with bullet points referring to Technical Skills and so on.

Annette,

No, in the resume there is no story telling. I keep my resume to the point and tell the story during the interview in person.

Hope this helps !
