This railroad resume was created for a client that specialized in managing and railway operations for optimized efficiency.
One potential concern is that this job seeker has held numerous jobs over the past decade. Many times, there are valid reasons for this and it’s not necessarily an issue, but some employers may see it as a red flag.
While that can’t be changed, we did start the resume with an Introductory Paragraph and Summary of Qualifications to truly highlight the client’s strengths and relevant skillset that would interest potential employers.
With employers often deciding on a resume within the first few seconds, we want to make sure the first impression is a good one. That includes a layout and format that is pleasing to the eye.
Following the client’s Professional Experience, his college degree was listed to demonstrate his impressive education background.
