your advice is very educational for me. i have since rewrite my resume and I feel that, it is true. However, not every responsilibities lead to a achievement, am I correct ? example: if i draft annual sales planning for fiscal year, what achievement would it result ? sorry for my poor understanding.

"3. Don't give everything away in the resume.
The idea of a resume is to get someone to call you. Talk with you on the phone. Offer you an interview. So a resume is like a first date. You only show your best stuff and you don't show it all."

I love this point here. But I must admit this would be quite tricky to implement on your resume. But a sufficient view of your achievements, leaving the specific actions to your interview would be an ideal scenario which I think most of the job seekers haven't thought of yet.
