| Before beginning to write
your work or employment history, it’s important to know
that:
| Employers are more interested in true
responsibilities and achievements than in job titles
or job descriptions |
Employers have neither the time nor the willingness to look
at unrelated job titles to try to figure out if the applicant
actually acquired skills related to the position he or she
held. The important thing is the work you did, the skills
you acquired and the achievements you attained.
Most job titles have little meaning
It often happens that people receive job titles with very
little meaning outside of the industry, company or even department
they work for. If one of your titles doesn’t accurately
reflect your duties, change it.
Two common resume writing mistakes
- Don’t write work histories that read like job descriptions.
Some job seekers go so far as to copy job descriptions literally.
The result is a boring summary of job duties without indication
of actual job performance.
- Don’t use bullets to outline work histories, since
this might dilute the impact of achievements.
The key is to emphasize skills and achievements
and provide proof of your potential value.
