Remember when you first rode a bike and it had those two extra wheels?

If you’re like me, one day you got on your bike and you were going faster than that bike had ever let you go before and you went to turn the corner and flew off, scraping the majority of your body on the sidewalk because your parents took the training wheels off.

Don’t worry today isn’t going to be like that!

Power that computer back on because today I am letting you in on professional resume writers TRICKS to making any job sound good on a resume.

Now that you have the past 10 years of experience in your document it’s time to determine what content should stay and what should go.

?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ????.

Let me say that again…

?????? ?????? ???? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ???????????????? ????.

I like to use the ???????????????????????? ?????????? + ???????????? ?????????? ?????????????????????? Model AKA

What you do & how you do it + What happens when you do it

Ask yourself these questions:

1.     Does it relate to the company’s bleeding need?

2.     Is it essential, important, or just details?

3.     Does everyone do it? If so, it should go!

4.     Is your VALUE first and your Brand second?

Let’s take a deep dive into each question:

???????????????? ?? ???????? ???? ???????????? ???? ?????? ??????????????’?? ???????????????? ?????????

·       If your roles in the past weren’t significantly related to the role you are seeking now, minimize how much information you leave. Every word on a resume matters because you only have 6 seconds to impress that recruiter AND because of how the ATS will rank your resume. Keep it to a brief description of what you did (situation and task) and focus your 2-3 bullet’s on the results from your actions.

·       Applying company research and context from informational interviews will take your resume from great to exemplary. What is your target companies bleeding need? If you can find this out and prove you can solve it, chances are you’re HIRED!

Example:

Trained 200+ staff members and was awarded the staff nominated Soaring Eagle Award for increased employee morale.

·       PRO TIP: a resume should read like a performance review, NOT a job description. Give enough information for the recruiter to follow your story and for the ATS to pick up your keywords.

???????????????? ?? ???????? ???????????????? ???? ????? ???? ????, ???? ???????????? ?????

·       Set the stage and get the job description like details of your role out in the first bullet or role statement. After that, every action should have a proven result.

·       Ruthlessly cut your most recent experience to no more than 7 bullets.

·       Ruthlessly cut your experience from 10 years ago to 1-4 bullets.

???????????????? ??: ???? ???????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????????

·       The rule of thumb is to have your value first and your brand second, but your insider information may change the formula.

·       PROTIP Front-load your bullets with the insider information you received from your company research and informational interviews.
