Senior Engineer Resume
The Professional Achievements section displays the value of clustering a long list of achievements into groups with separate side headings. Without the side headings, the task of comprehending the many achievements would be immense. With each group of achievements under a side heading, the reader can fathom a shorter list and focus on a group of particular interest. Clustering is a useful strategy to use in any resume section with a long list.
