Interview of Dick Hart (AKA the Résumé Doctor) by Ruth Sheehan of "The News & Observer"
quote:
The "obituary résumé." Dick Hart says:
'That's a document that uses stuffy formal language to describe all the stuff someone did once upon a time.'
"What employers need to know is what you can do for them," he said.
By Hart's reckoning, a jobseeker has about 20 seconds to grab the attention of the future bosses.
He has a term of art for this, too. It's called the "rule of thumb." Pick up a standard 81/2-by-11 sheet of paper. Your thumb lands about 3 inches from the top of the page.
"If you don't hook 'em by the time they get to their thumb, you can forget it,"
