My mom recently asked me to assessment her resume, and so did some of her pals (one of the joys of being a recruiter). They are all incredibly achieved healthcare executives, but their resumes lacked the pow that I discover in resumes of candidates I in most cases pick to move forward with. It wasn’t because they weren’t stellar professionals, but because they didn’t present their skills in the most advantageous way.For most of us, when we sit down to work on our resumes, we think to ourselves, “What do I do in this position?” While this is relevant information, you can share it in a way that has that extra “umph” recruiters want to see. When you’re looking for what to put on your resume, instead of thinking about what your job entails,
Office 2007 Keygen, think of what you’ve achieved. I’m not saying leave out the day-to-day tasks of your job, but what speaks louder is what you achieved. In other words, you want to call out what you “Made, Saved and Achieved” (MSA): • Made the company (money,
Office 2007 Keygen, sales, etc.)
• Saved the company (money, time,
Windows 7 Ultimate, etc.)
• Achieved personally (awards, recognition, etc.) Here are some examples: What you did What you did with pow Developed a test automation framework Developed a test automation framework reducing
company/team testing time from 3 days to 12 hours Managed and optimized online advertising campaigns Optimized a poorly performing ad campaign resulting in a decrease of cost per action by 50 percent Streamlined development
process Enabled our development team to ship our product 1 month early by streamlining our development process MSA also plays well in interviews. In this competitive market, employers want people who are able to produce results. Don’t be shy – wow ‘em with some pow! -Ryan P.S. - Shout out to Sue Danbom,
