The way I've learned to think of resumes is that their goal should be to land you an interview. This means that the resume should frame your contributions at just enough level of detail to make the potential employer want to bring you in for an interview to learn more. This means keeping things high level and focusing on what you achieved, but not how you achieved them (interviews can cover this information). Any chance you could post the link to the WSJ article you mentioned? Could not agree more. The way I’ve learned to think of resumes is that their goal should be to land you an interview.
