What makes an executive resume genuinely effective? Why do employers give priority to some resumes while applications from other talented candidates are often ignored or discarded? What are gatekeepers really looking for when reviewing resumes? How can YOUR resume give you undeniable advantage in this market and lead to more interviews and offers?

Take the following 30-second quiz that will help you turn your resume from humdrum to outstanding. Give yourself 1 point for each 'a' answer, 0 points for each 'b':
