I have had the opportunity to assist a taskforce responsible for recruiting over 40 executives for my former company, while also reviewing more than 500 resumes. One of the most critical mistakes made by applicants is the omission of detailed job descriptions in their resumes.
A well-crafted job description not only outlines your responsibilities but also highlights your achievements and contributions. For example, if you're applying for a maintenance engineer position, consider these improvements:
𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
1. Attended daily meetings to coordinate maintenance tasks.
2. Participated in risk assessments for installing new compressors.
3. Submitted daily reports to management.
𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:
1. Led the taskforce to coordinate maintenance activities, ensuring seamless operations and timely completion.
2. Played a pivotal role in conducting thorough risk assessments for the installation of new compressors, contributing to informed decision-making and risk mitigation efforts.
3. Established efficient reporting mechanisms, facilitating clearer communication with management and enhancing overall productivity.
------------------------------------
Remember, we value your accomplishments over mere job responsibilities. Using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method helps to effectively showcase your achievements.
Also, don't forget to set up a LinkedIn profile and include the link in your resume. Hiring managers often 'stalk' your LinkedIn profiles before scheduling interviews to learn more about candidates.
Please comment if you want to add further. Thank you for reading 🙏🏼
