HOW TO WRITE & TAILOR YOUR RESUME ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Writing responsibilities under experience is one of the biggest resume mistakes.

❌Recruiters aren’t interested in your job responsibilities because they know what each role is responsible for.

✔️ Instead, recruiters are looking for your performance in your past roles as well as what you’ve accomplished throughout your career.

Accomplishment statements help set your resume apart and here’s how you can get started:

➡️STEP 1 Recognize the difference between abilities, duties, strengths and accomplishments.

ABILITY is what you’re capable of doing; DUTIES are what you have already done; STRENGTHS are what you do well.

Alternatively, ACCOMPLISHMENTS demonstrate CHALLENGES you faced and the skills/abilities you used. ACTIONS you took in a situation. RESULTS or outcomes you achieved.

➡️STEP 2 Find out what skills your target job role or industry you are applying to requires.

➡️STEP 3 While keeping these skills in mind remember all the times when you exceeded expectations, met financial goals, made efficiency improvements, demonstrated your leadership skills, etc.

➡️STEP 4 Apply past outcomes /experiences to the skills your prospective employers are seeking.

➡️STEP 5 Identify the various achievements that have driven your career from your academics and extracurriculars or volunteering

➡️STEP 6 Follow these four guidelines when crafting statements to showcase your achievements:

  • Focus only on your accomplishments rather than your job duties.
  • Use action verbs to begin your statements.
  • Focus on tangible results & use quantitative measurements.
  • Focus only on skills and experiences that are relevant to the job you’re seeking.
