Let's tackle 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.
Lets see an example:
Aug 09 - Current General Manager ABC Company, Earth
- Increased Unit sales from 2.3 million to 3.2 million
- Unit was awarded Best Hotel by XYZ
Aug 07 - Jul 09 Deputy General Manager ABC Company, Earth
- Lowered Operating Cost from 54% to 46%
-Launched XYZ new services
Leave what you think you want to list as your accomplishments or achievements and I will assist you in phrasing it.
Cheers!
