In todayâs competitive job market, where resumes are a primary tool for hiring managers, many job seekers make critical mistakes by merely listing daily tasks on their resumes. Authors suggest that applicants need to highlight their accomplishments and the actual impact of their work rather than similarities with other candidates. They recommend using metrics or quantifiable results in describing work experience, which helps differentiate candidates from the crowd. Thinking about how success was measured and what was discussed in prior performance reviews can help applicants articulate their true value to potential employers.
Absolutely no one loves updating their resume. Unfortunately, it's still the main tool hiring managers and recruiters use to sift through job applicants.
Naming the same tasks they also have on their resumes won't help you stand out from the crowd.
If you're not sure how to talk about your impact, or if you don't think you have a job that's defined by numbers, try one of these approaches.
Think about how your success in that role was measured. What did you talk about in your annual review?
