Resume Tip

One of the first things I do when writing resumes is to look up the company that my client either currently works for or used to work for. Once there I get to see the products and services offered by the company and the key words used to describe the business. I then go the careers section of the business and if I’m lucky, I may see a posting for a position similar to my client’s former position. After a careful review it gives me a better idea about what he or she did and then I can figure out where to add accomplishments. For example a description may say, “
“Collaborate with key stakeholders and business partners to design product implementation plans.”
What does that mean?
I’d ask my client. “Who are the key stakeholders and business partners? Where are they located? What types of implementation plans do you design? What’s the purpose of the plans? Have you any accomplishments in this area that you are proud of?”
When you study up on a job and an industry it gives you a much better idea of the types of information that you would want to include in the resume. Additional information can be found by reviewing job descriptions on company websites of job boards.
