Resume Advice?

Hi everyone, I've received so much help from this forum since being laid off and wanted to get some advice on my resume.

Was doing SaaS sales (BDR and 1year stint as an AE) before being laid off. Now doing some part-time work for a friend's biz.

Not a lot of AE experience and I fear that's not getting me past some systems for AE apps.

FYI - SaaS X is the same company, should I combine my BDR and AE experience to make the AE period seem longer?

Any advice/feedback/criticisms greatly appreciated!

Not a single revenue stat. Quota attainment, revenue closed, etc is all I want to see as a hiring manager. The other bullets I can find out on your site or through conversation (if they’re relevant.

Coming back to say you do have quota attainment percentages, but not the values. What did you close and on what target?

Nothing more to really add. It's all about the attainment and cold, hard numbers.

Also, sorry to say but no one cares about your GPA or extracurriculars. Save that valuable real estate for highlighting relevant volunteering or other skills and tools you're adept at.

stats, stats, stats. No one gives an iota of a fuck about what the software you previously sold did or your "consultative meetings with various stakeholders."

Yup. Resume is a formula of your value being easily understood with numbers to back it.
