This July we are going to ROCK YOUR RÉSUMÉ.
Today is résumé refresher number three.
Describe how you left your last position better than you found it.
Answer these types of questions:
How did I increase revenue?
Increase sales?
Multiply market share?
Save time?
Come in ahead of schedule?
Come in under budget?
Save money?
Streamline tasks?
Until next week, ensure your bullet points are specific and measurable as we continue to ROCK YOUR RÉSUMÉ.
Today is our second résumé refresher.
Describe what you achieved and accomplished rather than simply listing your job responsibilities. Your résumé shouldn’t be a regurgitation of your job description. Remember, specifics sell.
Instead of: Responsible for calling on accounts in a two-state territory
Say: Increased a $3.5 million territory to a $11 million territory, surpassing our five-year sales goal two years ahead of schedule
Until next week, check your bullet points and STRIVE FOR SPECIFICITY as we continue to ROCK YOUR RÉSUMÉ.
This July we are going to ROCK YOUR RESUME!
Today is your first resume refresher.
These days we are relying on technology and AI to apply for jobs and even interview. To stand out in the marketplace, whether using a job-posting site, a professional recruiter, or even LinkedIn, a good old-school résumé can come to the rescue.
So consider this one easy edit.
Use VIVID VERBS to describe what you achieved and accomplished.
What did you CREATE? What did you SURPASS? What did you RESTRUCTURE?
Strong action verbs suitable for résumés include:
Oversaw
Increased
Supervised
Bolstered
Recruited
Refocused
Until next week, dust off your current resume and check your bullet points for VIVID VERBS in order to ROCK YOUR RESUME.
It needs to be said. Turn your camera on! Seeing faces builds connection, encourages engagement, and creates a more productive meeting experience for everyone involved.
The simplest changes make the biggest difference in how you show up professionally.
