As a professional resume writer, I have noticed that one of the biggest mistakes that candidates make is not having a theme. What I mean by this is that your resume has to tell a story. This story has to be relevant to the job you are going after.
Theme and cohesive flow of your resume is one of the most critical factors for employment candidacy traction, if not the most important. If your resume lacks flow, then you will be passed over, no matter how good you are. Remember, your resume is a marketing piece that promotes a unique matrix of talents, must have continuity, tell a compelling, persuasive and interesting story, and it must sing — and sing the right tune. Most resumes are “contaminated” by career path aberrations — common issues that can be corrected. The theme can be complex and / or multidisciplined that is understandable, relatable and inviting. The career progression, coupled with an ‘interesting story with a plot’ — a unique combination of marketing and story-telling, catapults a resume above all others.
