When it comes to writing a killer resume, most advice guides state that your experience section is the most important. And, there’s no denying that many managers look here before reading the rest of your resume. But, we think there’s a strong argument against the experience section being the most vital of all.
When you break it down, you may come to find that your personal profile holds that mantel. This section, more than any other, has the ability to boost your professional success in the long-term. Remember that, when they take you on, employers aren’t investing in your experience. They’re putting money into you. And, they’re trusting that there’s a place for you in their team.
By putting your focus on the personal section of your resume, you may find that an employer is even willing to look past patchy experience history. In fact, if you’ve been struggling to land an interview so far, this may well be what’s holding you back.
Sadly, it can take too long to realize this when we’re busy worrying about the wrong thing. That’s why you should put your experience section down for a while. Instead, consider these pressing reasons why your personal profile deserves more attention.
