Exercise 2. Whats In It for Your Prospective Employer?
You will typically be hired on the basis of what you can provide for your prospective employer and their
organization. On your rsum, your value can be expressed as three components:
1. Skills are specific talents that you offer a prospective employer that is, your ability to contribute
to an employers goals and objectives.
2. Qualifications include specific training and preparation, such as academic credentials,
certifications, and licenses. Your qualifications may be formal (a Masters degree or a drivers
license or informal (attending training courses, workshops, or seminars), but relevant to a
particular position.
3. Intangiblesare neither skills nor qualifications, but they are valuable to an employer just the
same. If a person has a strong and respected reputation in a community or an industry, for
example, this reputation would be a valuable asset to a company that is seeking to make an impact
in that community or industry.
Spend some time thinking about the job responsibilities that youve had in the past, or are preparing to
take on. Ask yourself what skills you have that make you employable. How would you answer when an
employer asks: Why should I hire you? How would you contribute to our bottom line?
A hiring decision is made only to take care of a concern, such as data entry or cloud computing, or
answering phones in an organization. The moment that an employer can see that you posses a skill that is
a match for his or her concern, is when your chances of being hired are better. So be clear about your
value.
Are loyalty, dependability, and hard work skills?NO. These are character traits. Focus on concrete skills.
Avoid fluff and ambiguity. Instead of saying, I have good communication skills, go a step further and

Worksheet: Create Your Personal Profile
Write three sentences that powerfully create who you are for your prospective employer. (Stand in your
prospective employers shoes and listen from over there)
Two Ways to Identify the Right Messages
The 8/90 Rule.
In any rsum, in almost any hiring situation, there are only 6-8 core messages that make 90% of the
difference in getting hired. Just 6 to 8. Either the prospective employer finds them, or doesnt. Determine
those few significant core messages that, when communicated on a rsum, and supported by evidence
(experience, education, volunteer work, and so on), will trigger action an interview opportunity.
