Achievements are the most important ingredient of
a winning resume outline.
Before starting to write achievements, recall your work history.
Consider, for instance, if you:
- Created, reorganized or established any procedure or system,
such as new forms, guidelines, policy statements, manuals,
flow charts, etc. that helped to save time, increase productivity
or reduce labor time or costs.
- Were complimented for special competence or performance,
such as handling difficult situations or solving problems
that other staff either didn't know how to solve or did
not want to face.
- Were put in charge of special projects: coordinating conferences
or trade shows; analyzing and improving any type of system
or program, etc.
- Received promotions or awards for goals achieved.
When discussing achievements, use numbers to describe them.
Do not generalize; instead, use numbers and percentages to
get your points across.
Numbers will will help you draw well-deserved attention to
your accomplishments from prospective employers. Nothing is
more impressive in a resume than explaining specifically how
you increased revenues and profits, improved product or service
quality, or increased operating efficiencies or reduced costs.
