Resume

When you are in the hot seat for a new job, employers, hiring managers, and recruiters

all want to know the same thing—what can you offer? For senior-level professionals,

your quantifiable, high-impact accomplishments give companies a snapshot of your

unique tangible value !o, if your executive resume lacks the W"W factor, you are not

doing a great job of marketing yourself

#n order to take a career accomplishment from average to outstanding, you need to set

the stage for the reader For e$ample% Increased annual sales 25% in 2006 &t first

glance, this accomplishment appears impressive, however, there are several questions

that should be addressed

What was the sales growth prior to '((), what actions or activities directly impacted the

company*s sales or was the company going through any changes+transitions during

'(()? he answer to one or more of these questions can cast a whole new light on the

original accomplishment statement

thought and employing strategic use of a tried and true formula—Challenge-Action-

norm and boosting operational efficiencies by 263

• and-picked by ./" to increase profitability, improve eroding market share and repair

strained customer relationships

STEP 2: A IS FOR ACTIONS OR ACTION STEPS

7our strategy here is to show employers the e$tent of your leadership capabilities and

problem-solving skills1 discuss what new initiatives you implemented or innovative

methods you employed he key is not to overwhelm the reader with minor details, but

make sure to give a good overview of what steps you took to achieve the desired

outcome & few good e$amples of action step sentences include%

the highlights and main points of each accomplishment into one or two sentences Write

your career accomplishments in a format that quantifies the results and provides

direct evidence of your core competencies and qualifications he accomplishment

grew investment portfolio from 46((,((( to 4: million in just two years

• .reated ;first-of-its-kind< technology company to offer complete suite of # solutions

/$ecutive resumes have to be succinct, concise and be able to pass the )(-second

test 0egardless of how remarkable your quantifiable results may be, they lose their

impact if placed at the end of a sentence #f we took the same e$amples used in !tep :

and revised them, they would appear like this%

stories What were the stories behind their accomplishments? What was going on in the company before they took on

the issue? Aive the reader some background, not a novel, just a hint of what the environment was like
