Development Resumes

Question for development/acquisitions guys. How do you typically format your resumes with respect to your deal experience and specific responsibilities? I find it difficult to illustrate as development has so many responsibilities that vary for each project depending on its stage (ie entitlement vs. active construction). My resume currently reads as:

Responsibilities include "x,y,z"
Deal 1. Major Market, USA. 500,000 SF trophy office building w/ ground floor retail. 50% pre-leased to XYZ. Construction in process.
Deal 2....

Having trouble striking the right balance between brevity in my descriptions and the best way to advertise deal experience. Thoughts much appreciated.

Have you considered creating a "deal sheet"?

It's essentially an extension of your resume where you can highlight each project that you've put in a substantial amount of work. This is where you can go into detail and highlight some awesome things you've accomplished, esp if you are working on deals that have various stages (entitlement, construction, etc.). Same can be said for people that work in a flat organization where they work throughout the life cycle of an investment - from initial acquisition, Asset Management / implementation of business plan, stabilize, and disposition.

 

My deal sheet (I'm a broker) just lists the deal name, address, date closed or signed, acreage, square footage, price, buyer/ seller types (like if they were a reit), property type, transaction type (lease vs sale) and then a quick sentence about the transaction.

Then at the bottom of it, I have the total number of deals, square footage and the total dollar amount.

Being a developer, you will probably have a lot less projects than I do and therefore should be heavier on what role you played in each development.
