Resume Assessment Principles

  • Have a long resume.
  • Have factual information.
  • Explain what the company does, what size it is, how much it grew, and how many employees it had
  • What was your title?
  • What to do if your title did not reflect your role?
  • What were your responsibilities? Be specific.
  • What did you achieve?
  • Potential employers want to see...
    • History of demonstrated results
    • Core competencies NOT theoretical skills
    • Communication skills
    • Culture / Fit
    • Interpersonal skills
  • Do not generalize skill sets
  • Do not over-exaggerate responsibilities. It is obvious.
