Hi,

I was looking at the book tiltled "101 More Best Resumes" by Jay A. Block and Michael Betrus and came on the professional experience section of a sample resume for an environmental engineer and it had the following two things mentioned under that category. Are these suppose to be absent of articles? Are the articles only ones to be without of? Any guidelines writing these details under the heading of what I think is "Profesional Experience"? 

Provided engineering review on contracts in excess of $4 million.

Streamlined IRP comprehensive budgeting and billing process.

I think the word "process" is countable

Hi,

The lines you quote are fine.

Resumes are mainly written in this kind of compressed point form.

eg Instead of 'I sold some refrigerators to two Eskimos', write

- Sold refrigerators to Eskimos.

If you look at any sample resume, you should find lots of examples of this.

It's usually best to start with a verb.

Best wishes, Clive
