Sarah Doelp wants to work in the membership or association fields and to move toward a management-level job. When you have a fair amount of career experience, what you emphasize in your resume is key. Catherine Lux manages career services and the online career center at the American Society of Association Executives and the Center for Association Leadership. She liked Doelp's use of keywords like 'outreach,' 'customer management' and 'Web development' and encouraged her to use more. Keywords help online systems match job candidates with employers looking for specific skills, she said. Lux also recommended that Doelp emphasize her experience at associations. She doesn't need to include irrelevant job experience if she switches from a chronological resume to a functional one, which focuses more on skills and accomplishments than a position-by-position list. A functional resume could work for Doelp, Lux said, because she has had experience at associations. But that's not all. 'Go beyond just saying what you've done,' Lux said. 'You must show deliverables so that employers know they are going to get a great return on investment if they hire you.' Give numbers or percentages, and be clear on where you stood out and did a good job. That negates the need for vague terms like 'dependable' or 'team player,' Lux said. And don't forget little things. It would be good for Doelp to include a link to her page on LinkedIn, the professional social-networking site, if she has one. And clean, clear copy and formatting are key. 'Any errors, even the minor ones, typos or formatting snags, will land your resume in the trash,' Lux cautioned.
