Job Search Tip?#4: (Credit: Biron Clark)

Numbers and Data Are Key to Grabbing Employer Attention

Adding numbers and data to your resume:

You probably don't have a great resume if it has no numbers/data.

It doesn't matter what industry you're in.

If you're a content editor for a publishing company you can say, "Edited and published 20+ articles per month for the company blog, read by 200,000+ monthly readers".

If you're an admin assistant you can say, "Assistant to the VP of Finance, who oversaw a 20-person team responsible for $19MM in annual revenue".

I could go on and on with examples, but you'll need to find the metrics that work for you.

My point is: They're out there. They exist.

This is NOT just for people in sales.

Every single person with any work experience whatsoever should have numbers on their resume.

Here's one last example, that I could have put on my own resume, from my first job as a cashier at Whole Foods Market:

"Served 100+ customers per day, handling thousands of dollars in cash with 99%+ accuracy".

Anyone can do this. Everyone should do this. If you're a recent graduate, then find numbers and accomplishments from your internships or even academic work. Did you lead any projects? Give any presentations? What did you do? That's your work experience if you have no work experience!
