The Importance of Resumes as Sales Pages

Resumes should function as persuasive sales pages that highlight how you can solve a hiring manager's problems. Instead of listing job responsibilities, resumes should focus on showcasing the impact you've had in previous roles. Stories of reversing market share declines, defeating competitors, or improving customer satisfaction are more compelling than simply echoing the job description.
