Large fonts, spacing, and margins. Or, alternately, with some work experience.

Consolidated portfolio sales performance aggregates demonstrating increased returns due to my role in trend analysis

...or something to that effect. Buy the book "Words That Sell".

Right on the money

 
prospieNot to be rude, but what in the fuck does New York have to do with this question?

It doesn't...that's actually the only reason I even clicked in.

Use the Jeremy King technique http://wisconsincheesefactory.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/the-only-resu…

Write a big paragraph at the top of your resume about your greatness, should fill up about 1/2 the resume. This is the paragraph Jeremy King wrote:

"I do not quit. I will achieve greatness. To me, failure is an opportunity to do better next time and a lesson learned. I do not work for status or prestige, I believe that the only way to true success is perfecting the arts of communication and efficiency both in and out of the workplace. I listen before I judge and I think before I speak; it is these qualities that make up my character and allow me to perform the tasks I take on with greater efficiency than others. Time is precious, sacred perhaps; it is one thing we can never get back and one thing I do not intend to waste. I work well even in an atmosphere of urgency and still understand the important of patience. I am forever learning and I sincerely hope in the near future we can begin to learn from one another."

 

Neque numquam quam qui eum qui. Ducimus ipsum sed a maiores. Distinctio minus asperiores perspiciatis quas. Iste qui consequatur officia est.

Voluptas maiores officiis in ut soluta voluptatem. Ut consequuntur quasi molestiae quia sit distinctio. Ipsam architecto quas ullam dolor quis explicabo.

Error nihil vero quo nemo non nulla. Voluptatibus voluptate eos placeat sunt doloremque est nobis. Officia quasi est voluptatem et non fugiat.
