	The New Finance Résumé: How to Use Innovative Design in a Traditional Industry 6 Ways Finance Professionals Can Maximize Today's Customizable Résumé The finance world is known for developing innovative finance products, ideas, and solutions. But the industry trails others in embracing new résumé writing strategies.  This two-part breakout session presents two elements of San Francisco résumé writer Jared Redick’s “Purpose, Content, Design” strategy, tailored to the conservative needs of finance industry recruiters. Part I: Design - Struggling with design? Think “simplicity.” Finance résumés are buttoned up documents but they can still take advantage of simple yet powerful emerging design ideas. Walk away from this breakout knowing how to:   ·        Choose the right design elements for your finance résumé ·        Use job descriptions to focus and customize document architecture ·        Deconstruct your professional background to maximize a reader's 5-10 second skim Part II: Content - Writing new content? Think “intersection.” A résumé is nothing more than the intersection between what you’ve done, and what your audience wants. It isn’t a platform, it’s a marketing tool. Build content around clarity. Walk away from this breakout knowing how to: ·        Quantify your "scope of work" in a three line paragraph to persuade (or dissuade) your reader ·        Choose and quantify accomplishments so you're not overlooked ·        Turn a 30-second elevator pitch into a compelling executive summary
	San Francisco-based résumé writer, Jared Redick, helps people discover the marketable intersection between their background, interests, audience expectations, and career goals. His strategic “purpose, content, design” approach helps people transform rusty résumés into barrier breaking documents.

Whether you are persuading colleagues, selling a client, energizing a team or reporting financial information, the power of your presentations makes the difference between success and failure.
