Resume and Interview Tips

Resume Tip - Tell Them What You Did
By:Elton Lowe

Make your resume stand out by telling your prospective employer what you did. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to not include what you accomplished in your past jobs. Many people simply give a list of their job duties, much like you would find in a job description. That's a big mistake!

Instead of typing up your job duties, spend a little time putting together a list of your accomplishments. If you include measurable results it will tell anyone reading your resume what you are able to do with those job duties.

What are measurable results? Well, if you're a salesperson, that's easy to figure out. You would include your sales numbers. But what if you work in an administrative position in a company? You probably had tasks and deadlines that had to be met. Include the main tasks on your resume and tell how you did on those tasks.

Did you have reports that were due every month? How often were you on time with those reports? Every month? Wow! You're someone worth talking to. Were you late with those reports sometimes? Well, how did you stack up next to your co-workers? If your stats are better than the others, you want that on your resume. Focus on what you did better than anyone else. It will get you noticed.

If you tell them what you did, and not just what you were supposed to do, you'll give prospective employers a reason to call you in for an interview. And that's why you're writing you resume in the first place.

Writing a resume is a complicated task. It's not something you do every day, but it needs to be done right. For answers to you question, How Do I Make A Resume? go to http://www.squidoo.com/How-Do-I-Make-A-Resume
