Impact Resume Format and Sample
The purpose of the Impact Resume Style is to make you special and have you standout from others. It has one purpose - getting you the interview!

Your basic contact information goes on top. Your email address should be professional. Please, keep the hotbody.com for another time.

If you wish to be specific, add an objective. Make sure your objective matches the position you are applying for. "I wish to have a pharmaceutical sales position with a dynamic company that will allow me to grow and advance", does not cut it for an IT sales position. Keep it updated or eliminate it.

Using the format below, include years and dates employed for each position. Include position, title and one to two lines describing your responsibilities.

Then a very critical area. Using bullets, list a minimum of three accomplishments.These are your stats, percentage of quota, awards, recognition and sales accomplishments

After education, include any special training you received, extra sales classes you attended. If you are new to sales, list the percentage of your money you contributed to your education.

Next, list Interests, Organizations or Civic participation. Again, keep it professional. Chairman of the class reunion does not count.
 
This simple yet efficient resume says, "This is what I can do for you and your company. We need to talk!"  And if you are looking for all the right ways to say it, then check this out!
