Résumé Help: Uncovering Achievements
In today’s example, we are reviewing a résumé that could be improved by adding achievements. In this example, the candidate listed many of his job functions. We dug a little deeper to show the scope of his responsibilities and how his functions improved business operations. We have discussed this topic in other blogs. However, in this example we have inserted actual questions for the candidate. Using these brainstorming questions, the client can take his statements to the next level.
After we have gathered the new information, we separated his top accomplishments from his routine job functions. We placed the job functions in an opening paragraph beneath the employer information and job title. Below that we listed the accomplishments in a bulleted list format. At a glance the reader can see the candidate’s strongest selling points.
If we had not probed deeper in this particular case, we would have missed several golden nuggets that will help separate the candidate from the hundreds of others applying for similar opportunities. For more information on enhancing your résumé, check out these blog entries.
