It seems like a total no-brainer: you should update your résumé and online profiles when you are job hunting. But there’s more to consider besides just adding your latest position and maybe dropping old or irrelevant ones.
By now, most everyone knows that you want to be specific about your results—quantify in real numbers, wherever possible—but you don’t want your résumé to feel like a list of disconnected accomplishments either. So, instead of saying, “I crushed it on Project X by increasing revenue by %,” you could package those results to highlight the competencies that enabled your success.
Exceptional soft skills aren’t easy for hiring managers to screen for, so this is another opportunity to be proactive and sing your own praises. The key, however, is to back up your claims with concrete results. So, if you’re great at motivating a team, don’t just say it; be ready to share an example. out there.
Excellent! Thanks for sharing this,
Truth. Hiring managers need to know what you will bring to the position. Your resume should eliminate the need for them to guess what is between the lines. It is important that your resume fleshes out relevant information, to get that interview.
The truth is few people are not getting hired because their resume format or because they have the wrong buzzwords within it. There are multiple other factors causing otherwise qualified people to either not be able to land a job or find a job that best fits their skill set.
Very useful.
Thank you Forbes :-)
