One of the key factors recruiters and potential employers skim through those 10 seconds on your initial resume scan is to check your level, designation, and career progression. Moving up internally doesn’t just mean more money and responsibility, it also looks great on a job application.
You can emphasize growth by including these smartly on your resume:
👉🏾Use a reverse chronological resume format.
👉🏾Display all the designations with dates under each of your experience separately.
👉🏾Highlight promotions, drivers for the promotions and within what time.
👉🏾Express that it was a fast track or expedited promotion if it was well within time.
👉🏾Rather than listing generic job tasks, clearly mark out additional tasks achieved with the new role.
👉🏾No promotion for a long period is a major red flag, you can overcome this by highlighting added responsibilities undertaken and outcomes achieved.
👉🏾If you have moved several jobs, present these moves as a series of advancements rather than as separate roles is key to showing your experience in the best light.
👉🏾Being able to list a promotion on your resume isn’t just about a linear escalation of job titles you must also showcase signs that you’ve picked up new skills along the way.
💥 Remember all the above should be in bullet points and in the format [action verb] + [what you did] + [result]
