Your Resume!

Your Resume is one of the most important tool in job search!

Do you want to know what the most important part of your resume is?

It's NOT your qualifications.

It's NOT your experience.

Recruiters, HR reps, and hiring managers do care about these things -- but not as much as you might think. They're really looking for something else:

Your accomplishments.

When it comes to wowing hiring managers especially, and getting invited to interview with them, accomplishments are the coin of the realm.

BUT:

Accomplishments come in two different flavors. One is practically worthless, and makes HR reps snigger and roll their eyes. The other makes them stop what they're doing, sit up straight, and smile with approval and respect.

What's the first type?

Abstract accomplishments. They're what everyone else puts on his or her resume, and the typical one reads like this: "Responsible for managing in-house sales team."

You need to make your accomplishments concrete.

How?

Specify real, actual results.

And make sure you include numbers!

Example "Led 8-member sales team to a 94% revenue increase over a 7 year period."

Do you see how a resume filled with accomplishments and results like this

builds incredible value? It's the single most powerful change you can make to your resume to land more interviews and also attract better opportunities.
