If a movie, book or blog can grab my attention immediately, then I'm hooked and will follow the story all the way through. The same idea applies to your resume—you need to write a compelling story that entices readers from the start.

As a recruiter with 30 years of experience, 250,000 interviews with my partners, and well over 1000 executive search assignments, I must politely disagree with the recommendations of this author.
Most managers take less than 10 seconds to review resumes. They are not interested in stories and verbose descriptions. They want to see bullet points of how your experience and skills match exactly what they described in their posting. Secondly, the higher up the food chain you move, they want to see bullet points of results, change, impact, and outcomes that are quantifiable. Short, crisp, hard-hitting proof.
