Résumé Review
Crain's NY Business
by Ware Sykes
Crain's occasionally features a resumé, and some advice as to how to punch it up.
NAME
RENAD JABAJI
OBJECTIVE
A managerial career in construction and real estate development
EXPERIENCE
Forest City Ratner Cos., Manhattan, 2006-March 2009. Project development coordinator: analyzed and assessed subcontractor estimates for Barclays Center, Brooklyn; obtained substantial savings in construction schedules for Beekman Tower, Manhattan; value-engineered foundation and road design for significant savings for Ridge Hill, Yonkers
...EXPERT ADVICE
In the current economic environment, employers are looking for people who can generate revenue and save money. In your cover letter and when you're speaking with recruiters, emphasize that you not only have the skill set they need but that you also have the ability to deliver projects on time and under budget.

NoLandGrab: "On time and under budget?" The Barclays Center is neither.
And why would Forest City have laid off someone working on the arena three months ago (assuming that's why Ms. Jabaji left)?
