Sometimes it helps to look at resume examples for inspiration. In this case, the following resume for a project management job demonstrates a few points.

About this Project Management Resume Sample

Let’s take a close look at this sample resume in case it gives you ideas for handling your resume situation. Notable features include:

• Rich in keywords from start to finish. For example, the professional title at the top, “Project Management with focus on Administration, Team Leadership, and Customer Care” presents several of this job seeker’s prime keyword terms.
• A gap in employment is filled by listing volunteer work the job seeker did for a year when she was unemployed. (See page two below.)
• Several promotions are highlighted in the job just before the gap in employment mentioned above. This gives balance and strength to her work history in case the employer sees the employment gap as a flaw.
• There are no dates under Education, making it difficult to know how old she is. This is intentional because she’s concerned that her age might be a problem.
• The chronological resume format is used for this sample resume because the job seeker’s work history is strong, it supports her career objective, and the format effectively manages her gap in employment and age issue.

You can also see the Plain Text version of this resume, which might be used for inserting into the body of an email message or for posting online.
