With the increase in matrixed management and the blurring of lines between business and technical teams, project consultants cannot safely assume that today’s hiring managers have the same knowledge-base as previous managers. So take some time to scan through your resume, and replace acronyms with the full names of applications/vendors/documents/methodologies you’re including.
A well-credentialed PMP Project Manager who has never worked in the financial sector may mistake the ALS on a resume for Lou Gehrig's Disease, not understand that it means Advanced Lending Solutions, and reject a uniquely qualified Business Systems Analyst resume out of ignorance.
A PM with a history of Technical Delivery leadership and only peripheral knowledge of the Define stage, may mistake BRD for Federal Republic of Germany (hey! It’s a global economy, right?) or Blackrock Depths (geek!).
Spell out your acronyms – don’t assume that everyone knows of what you’re speaking. And for really obscure acronyms, include a short explanation.
TMI can really help to CYA!
