Divisional Director of Operations Resume
Unique dot-in-a-diamond bullets point to areas of expertise in the Executive Profile and to accomplishments in the Career Experience section. Horizontal lines enclosing section headings make the overall layout easy to see. The writer likes to use a larger font size (12 points) for the text in the Executive Profile to make that information stand out from the resume's other information (at 11 points). Note that all the achievements are quantified in some way.
