- Book 5 of 6: The 2Q Resume Series
You have 7 seconds.
That's the top half of page one. That's all a hiring manager gives you when they're sifting through dozens, or hundreds, of resumes.
Do you think they want to sift through large blocks of text?
Do you think they want to see subjective statements like "team player," "expert at X," or "detail-oriented and result-driven professional"?
They don't. Because they've seen the same phrases 20 times that day.
Here's what most summaries look like:
"Highly motivated professional with excellent communication skills and a proven track record of success. Strong team player with the ability to multitask in fast-paced environments."
That's not a summary. That's a word cloud. Anyone can write that.
It tells the hiring manager absolutely nothing about:
-
How much you actually did
-
What scale you operated at
-
Whether you were better than your peers
-
What you actually achieved
Here's a 2Q Summary that actually works:
- IT Operations Manager with 10+ years of experience managing 200+ servers across 15 global sites.
- Led teams of 8-12 engineers, maintained 99.99% uptime for 3 consecutive years, and reduced incident response time to an average of 18 minutes from 48 minutes.
- Certified in AWS and ITIL.
See the difference? One tells me you showed up. The other shows me what you did.
What You'll Learn
Why the top of your resume is your most valuable real estate, and how to pass that 7-second test
How to aggregate your career into a powerful summary
How to pull out your strongest achievements and credentials
Examples of 2Q summaries
Who This Book Is For
Your summary is generic and you know it
You're not getting interviews and don't know why
You have strong experience but struggle to summarize it
You want to make a strong first impression
You want a quick, practical resource
About the Author James Grimm has been a hiring manager for over twenty years across multiple industries and countries, including Japan and the United States. He has reviewed hundreds of resumes and interviewed candidates across all levels. The 2Q Method is the shorthand he created to describe the everyday resume habits he saw separating strong candidates from forgettable ones. It's not a new system, just a clearer way to talk about what already works.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
