Job Search Tip:

Brevity with clarity in resumes is important, as the people (hiring managers or HR staff) often have limited time for reading them. However, you still need to write using proper sentence structure in the sections of the resume where you are not just listing off skill sets or areas of experience (such as software used, certifications earned, etc.) in order to show that you are able to think constructively and to communicate complex information to others in a concise and understable way. In the information age that we now live in, many hiring managers prefer candidates who have the ability to parse and convey information in a succinct but useful manner, so think of your resume and cover letter as two key opportunities to show off your skills in those areas!
