Lisa Marshall had spent her entire career in the mortgage industry. But faced with market volatility and shrinking opportunities, Lisa needed a resume that expanded past the mortgage industry and positioned her as a desirable candidate for other finance-related roles. Lisa turned to ACRW resume writer Wanda Kiser of Advantage Career Services for help.
One of Kiser's first steps was to add a career highlights section to Lisa's resume. This portion of the resume was filled with industry-related keywords to grab the hiring manager's attention while focusing on Lisa's strong achievements and demonstrating her depth of financial knowledge.
