Focus your list on what the position you are applying for. Weed out each item in your resume that are irrelevant to the position you are applying for. Whenever possible, list your experience in terms of accomplishments and achievements rather than concentrating and focusing on tasks and responsibilities. Make yourself a winner and show your success.
