Resumes to be About Accomplishments, Not Minutae

Here's a little advice from your friend Liz Ryan (from HR);

Don't fill your resume with pointless details. Fill it with things you've accomplished.

For example, don't just tell what you did at your old job. Tell what you accomplished at your old job. Did you accidentally increase sales by 700%? Brag about that.

...And that's four or so paragraphs condensed.

This'll definitely be something I'll try to do in my future resumes.
