In a nutshell, we believe (in addition to many industry gurus) that resumes should be written and organized in terms of what you've achieved, rather than just what you've done. It's very common for students and professionals alike to base their resume on duties instead of accomplishments, something that doesn't quite serve the purpose of letting the employer know how you made a difference in your previous positions.
Here's what I mean...
Instead of listing a position on your resume like this:
Baker
Tim Horton's, Niagara Falls, ON
- Cleaned dishes
- Received orders
- Baked products for the store daily
Try this:
Baker
Tim Horton's, Niagara Falls, ON
- Maintained a clean, organized working space while adhering to health and safety standards
- Received orders in a timely, efficient manner to ensure products were organized and ready to sell
- Baked products for the store daily, ensuring quality met customer's expectations
See the difference?
The point is: the employer can infer from your position title what you might have done in the job, so there's no reason to simply list your duties because it doesn't provide any new information. A better idea is to use achievement statements to outline the action you performed (ie. the verb in the sentence), what you did, and what resulted because of what you did.
Start making these changes in your resume, and you're bound to see a difference in who responds to your applications.
Stop by the Resource Centre if you have any questions about writing your resume or need help creating effective achievement statements.
Good luck high achievers!

ReplyDeleteOne choice open to subprime or high-chance borrowers is to take a secured, fleeting credit, for example, an auto title advance. In times of crisis, it can be your just wellspring of brisk money, with handling times as low as a couple of hours. So in case you're in a Catch-22 circumstance and can't get a low-premium credit from banks, an auto title advance can safeguard you out of a tight spot. cash advance chicago
ReplyDeleteWhen you apply to renegotiate your auto advance all the better you can accomplish for yourself is to modify the terms of the consent to whatever suits you. In the event that you wish you can abbreviate the reimbursement period or diminish the sums paid out by extending the credit over a more drawn out period and this can bring down the APR rates in the meantime. cash advance loans

So what does a poor FICO assessment truly influence? What doesn't it influence ought to be the inquiry. It used to be that it just influenced your qualification to acquire financing for an auto or home credit. Well they settled that. You can get financing for the home or auto you need; you'll simply need to pay higher intrigue and expenses. payday loans
