The management, professional, or executive job seeker must use the resume as a tool to sell himself. The resume and its quality often make or break getting the job and even getting in the door for an interview. Accomplished professionals are rarely in the job market and often make resume and cover letter mistakes or fail to convey career growth and responsibilities in the best possible light. Unfortunately accomplishments don't speak for themselves, and a well prepared resume and cover letter are critical in the current job market.
