It’s not what you’ve done; it’s what you have accomplished that matters- Part II

Just so we’re clear, people don’t read your resume, they scan it.  In an eye-tracking study, we found that the average recruiter spends about six seconds on a resume before deciding if it’s worth their time for a closer inspection.  If you don’t grab our attention in that window, you may be overlooked.

So how to you get my attention? Be Brief, Be Brilliant.  It’s those accomplishments that we talked about last week that will make a difference.   Stay focused on the very best accomplishments that will tell the Hiring Manager what you can do for them.

Remember that a accomplishments, for the most part, comes down to three things; How much money did you make the company; How much money did you save the company; What process improvements did you develop and implement in the company.

Please let us know how we can assist you or your company.
