Tailor my resumeWhy This Resume Works
- The first bullet answers the vague "managed projects" problem directly: 31 of 34 projects on time, an $18M portfolio and each year within 3% of budget.
- Methodology is shown in use rather than listed: moving three teams from waterfall to Scrum cut releases from 12 weeks to 4, and a late portal was recovered with two-week Scrum sprints in Jira.
- Risk management is visible in concrete habits: weekly RAID reviews, steering committees with the CIO, CFO and CNO, and change control on 47 scope requests.
- PMP and PMI-ACP sit in their own Certifications section with dates, which matters because many project manager postings filter on PMP before a person reads the resume.
- The progression from Project Coordinator to Senior IT Project Manager over 12 years, with healthcare specifics like Epic, HL7 interfaces and clinical blackout dates, makes the seniority credible.
Common Resume Mistakes
- Vague "managed projects" without scope, budget, or outcome.
- Omitting methodology (agile, waterfall) or tools (Jira, MS Project).
- No metrics; add on-time rate, budget variance, or team size.
