Ms. Vijaylakshmi (name changed for privacy reasons)had a vast experience of over 14 years in the field of Sales and Marketing in FMCG industry. Given the kind of experience she had, it was quite easy for her to shiftto any other industry with a better pay. She was eyeing for a marketing job in the pharmaceutical sector. As this was the first time she was thinking of a job change and that too, to a completely new industry, she decided to seek help from experts in order to modify her resume to suit the needs of pharma sector. Let us look at her resume before she contacted us.
It is quite clear that Ms.Vijaylakshmi wanted her prospective employers to know about all her past achievements and experiences. However, given the length of her resume, they would have easily missed some of her very important skills as recruiters hardly read the entire document.

Our focus was on connecting her past experience to the responsibilities of her new job in a new industry which gave her resume a much needed push. Not only that, we also received regular feedback from Ms.Vijayalakshmi through email and it was actively incorporated into her resume. Here’s the updated version!
