Role of Resume in Getting Interviews

Based on 20+ years experience personally helping executives get new C-level positions, I think most people would agree the hardest part of job hunting is getting interviews with someone who can hire you.
A gussied-up resume is still a resume, and co's use resumes to screen people out.

One resume professional advised to list accomplishments rather than responsibilities. The problem with that is is the very great risk that the reader will say to himself: "our situation is different, and therefore the listed accomplishments are irrelevant to our situation".

Far better to let the prospective employer know about some of the capabilities you could bring to the table to help him reach his financial goals faster, THAT is hard to do in a resume. Savvy job hunters would be better off using a simple resume that tells about your employment history, and a strong marketing letter to
sell your capabilities and why you should be given an interview.

More such advice is available to those who are interested.
