The résumé looks much better with the addition of bullet points and the inclusion of relevant employment experience. The Leadership section is geared toward employers in consulting. We are still a little concerned that he is leaving out other relevant work experience, but we would not force someone to include jobs they consider to be not worth mentioning.
