Farah Sharghi, a former recruiter at tech giants like Google and TikTok, emphasizes the importance of showcasing outcomes in résumés and interviews. Many candidates fail to communicate the impact of their work, simply listing tasks without connecting them to business value. Understanding that corporations exist to generate profit is crucial for job seekers. Sharghi believes that recognizing the worth of their labor allows candidates to better articulate their contributions in the job market and enhances their overall understanding of their professional value.
If you are applying to corporate jobs, you have to understand that a corporation is there to make money. They're not there to do you a service.
If you're exchanging your labor for money, you have to ask yourself, from the employer's perspective, why are you doing all this stuff? What is your work's outcome for the business?
As I work with clients, it's kind of an eye-opening experience for them. They start to realize their labor is worth money and if it's worth money, they have to be able to communicate that.
They do that through their résumés and the interview process. And then when they're working, they understand the value of their labor relative to the work they're doing for the company that they're working for.
