A project manager resume is similar to other resumes, except for one key difference I can recommend. This is one key thing I changed when I began trying to get specifically into the project management field, and did not have enough formal experience yet to rely on.<\/p>\n
It doesn’t involve deception. I’ll NEVER recommend you lie on your resume or cv in any way, ever. This is not a “trick”, it is a tip on how to present your own experience if you are seeking a project management related role.<\/p>\n
Highlights and Results<\/h2>\n
I recommend 2 sections for each position you’ve held. A one-sentence description of your job, and then a section titled “Highlights and Results”<\/p>\n
For this second section, I recommend a bulleted list with concrete accomplishments and quantitative metrics that are honest and concise.<\/p>\n
My own “highlights and results” section is limited to just a handful per role. I keep a separate document with a longer list, and gear the resume for a particular application based on the type of company and environment. Present your real work history and experience in the most appealing way…suit it to the situation.<\/p>\n
Here’s the Real Tip For Your Project Management Resume<\/h2>\n
For the last bullet point, I use it to highlight my project-specific experience. For instance, if I was a team member<\/strong> on a project, I might say something like this:<\/p>\n If I were a lead<\/strong> on these projects, I would qualify my involvement as “technical lead on several projects” or whatever the right language is for the situation.<\/p>\n And if I had managed<\/strong> these projects, I might use “Successfully managed and implemented many projects” or again, whatever wording makes sense for your situation. If they were not successful projects, don’t say they were.<\/p>\n Trying to get your foot in the door in project management? Projectize your resume.
