Everyone has a resume and most of them are the same.
Thought you might be interested in what I advise college seniors looking for their first job or undergrads looking for a special internship.
Make a list of 7 specific reasons you should be hired on one page.
Bold each number and reason.
Add one (and only one) additional line for each of the 7 reasons that gives concrete evidence to back your claim.
Examples:
- Work well with people – I use principles I learned in a human relations course I took.
- Generate new income quickly – Increased revenue 54% in the first six months.
- Can help Ajax Industries with the turnover problem – Reversed turnover by 30% in the first year.
Be specific, provide evidence and make those 7 items so compelling your resume will rise to the top.
