Every Monday is Resume Skills day with The Coach
Today (I know its a Tuesday, I took the day off yesterday!), I want to talk about Accomplishments.
Most resume formats, require you to mention the details of positions held. This normally includes, designation, dates, company name, location and??
That's right, AND??
This is where you sell yourself.
Remember, the recruiter doesn't know you, let alone your achievements.
So here are some guidelines...
> Only 3 per job position listed- anymore and you risk sounding pompous!
>Only facts - no feelings. Facts can be verified. Revenue, Sales, Costs, training hours/man day, launch of new products/services
>Only those that demonstrate the skills that the job you applying for requires.
>Only those that are used to measure success for the designation you were in when you accomplished them.
Get your accomplishments in order.
You know you can leave comments and I will respond to each.
Cheers!
p.s. NEW YEAR TIP : If you have listed yourself somewhere as someone with 5 yrs (e.g.) then please don't forget to make it 6 !!
