Hello. The resume course proves the Pareto Principle - you get 80% of your results from 20% of your efforts.
Say you took 5 hours to write your resume. If you spent 1 hour writing the headlines, and 4 hours the accomplishments, and you were chosen to get an interview, you could attribute it to the 1 hour writing the headlines.
The other 4 hours were irrelevant in comparison. They did generate 20% of the results, meaning they proved you were capable of being in this new position. But without the relevant headlines, the content was irrelevant.
How many people writing their resumes spend 20% of the time on headlines? Probably very few. Yet this is where your time is most relevant.
Regards,
Steve
