THE ONE PAGE RESUME
When to use a one page resume
The One Page Resume is suggested for use by some as the ONLY resume you should use. We at Impact Executive Solutions Pty Ltd are not quite at ease with this approach, but we are very much aware that it is a powerful “marketing document” for you when you are seeking a new position. It is easy to read and more likely to be read than a longer resume as it is only one page. It can be used as a useful introductory and summary first page of your main resume, all you need to do is remove “A full resume and references are available on request.”
How to write a one page resume
Career Objective
This is optional. If using, you must ensure that
it is specific, brief and relates to any position
you are applying for.
Qualifications
Only include qualifications of relevance. You
can add notes to accompany the list of qualifications
if you need to. These notes may refer to the specific
nature of your studies if relevant to the company/position
you are approaching.
Career Summary
Commence with your current/most recent position.
Note how the different positions with ABC Ltd
are listed under the dates for the overall period
of employment.
Achievements
These need to be quantified wherever possible.
Achievements can be quantified in monetary, percentage,
time related or volume terms without breaching
any confidences of previous employers.
A full resume and references are available
on request.
This closing line merely points out that you
are willing and able to provide a more detailed
resume and referees if asked to do so.
