The following is for ALL professionals trying to understand the philosophy behind hiring and how its shifted: - High level recruiting has a philosophy of "Proof of Profit" - which means that we look for a historical pattern of ADDING VALUE to your role rather than check listing duties. Question to ask yourself right now: 1. Does my resume do the following: a. Add money to the company b. Save money for my company c. Mitigate risk 2. Does my resume EXECUTE rather than EXPLAIN? a. How does my resume display HOW I CHANGED the duties into POSITIVE NET OUTCOMES Example: Bad bulletpoint: Performed customer service duties with team of 6 other associates handling customer incoming calls Good bulletpoint: Optimized key workflows to reduce customer turnover by 15%, increasing customer satisfaction KPI to a record 90% within first 8 months of joining. (Something like that) 1. Good bulletpoint CLEARLY displays role, growth, agency of intervention and the change that happened BECAUSE OF YOU and clear metrics. I hope you find success with me or eventually, by yourself but don't give up. I provide free half hour consultations if you need a professional to glance over your resume.
