How do you write a resume?
user
I don’t really have a form or design, and I’m not trying to make my writing flow or be pretty.
assistant
What is the general way?
user
I have a basic template that works for me and then I just write out exactly what I’m looking for.  I describe my accomplishments, but then I give examples.  I sometimes feel like it doesn’t seem compelling but it feels good to go through the process of writing it and thinking about what I’m going to write.
assistant
Do you make yourself look better or stick to the facts?
user
Well in my situation it’s really not about sticking to the facts but making myself sound better.  I want to show that I’m an ambitious person who takes initiative, and has interests and activities outside of my job and so on.
assistant
Thank you very much.
