There are still too many jobseekers that lean heavily on “resume blasting” tools as the ultimate solution for their job search strategy. While getting your resume into the hands of key recruiters and decision makers is critical to your job search success, it is futile if your professional resume is telling the wrong story.
Your goal with a professional resume is “Sell Me” not “Tell Me” strategy – if you have a laundry list of job responsibilities and task-driven statements, you are only telling potential employers that you did your job, but isn’t that what you are paid to do?
Think about this, hiring managers and recruiters want to know
- What can you do for me (highlight your qualifications, expertise, and personal brand)
- How many times have you done it before (highlight length and breadth of related experience)
- How well have you done it (highlight bottom-line impact and quantifiable achievements)
