HOW TO SHOWCASE ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN YOUR RESUME.

Resume accomplishments should be both measurable and unique to a job seeker’s experience.

To start generating ideas for your summary of accomplishments, ask yourself below questions👇

1) Did I make or save money for the company, If so, exactly how much?

2)Did I reach my goals quickly, If so, what was the exact time period?

3)Did I exceed my goals often?If so, to what degree?

High-quality resume accomplishments are quantifiable and measurable.

Value, timespans, volume and % are all great ways to quantify your accomplishments on a resume.

Consider the CAR formula if you get stuck.

Every accomplishment should include the problem or challenge, the action you took, and the stellar result of your hard work.

Below are couple of accomplishments examples👇

• Exceeded retail sales goals by an
average of 17% every quarter in 2019.

• Cut data processing time by 50% by building a new cloud data infrastructure, leading to more timely insights.

Using resume accomplishments in place of job responsibilities makes the most out of resume space by showing the hiring manager that you are result driven and have a history of going beyond the expected requirements.

Sunday Resume Tip 💡

Use action verbs and metrics in your resume.

Show the recruiter or hiring manager your impact!

“I streamlined our team's efficiency operations.”
“I was able to increase our sales by 24%.”
“Managed 40 international client partnerships.”

You’ll have more time to explain HOW you achieved those results in the interview.

Be thorough but concise.
And use data to back you up!

Have a fulfilling and most awesome week 🙏

HOW TO OVERCOME AGE DISCRIMINATION IN YOUR JOB SEARCH:

As the Millennials and Gen Z are preparing to take over the workforce, do not open yourself up to any age discrimination within your job search!

Here are some helpful tips to help avoid age discrimination while searching for a new job.

Tip 1 ➡️ Give your CV and make-over. Try an ATS compliant template to highlight your skills and abilities. Drop work experience beyond 12-15 years and remove graduation dates from your education section.

Tip 2 ➡️ Focus on technical skills and recent accomplishments; a functional CV would be ideal for a seasoned candidate. A functional CV is a CV which emphasizes skills and accomplishments in order of their importance.

Tip 3 ➡️ Embrace social media as a hiring source! #LinkedIn should be your best friend! I tell our clients to download the app and check it as much as you would your Instagram and Facebook pages. Engage with professional groups and companies that interest you. Make sure that your #profile is #optimized and set up so that Recruiters flood you with communication! The goal is to never have to apply to another role again! Let LinkedIn do the work for you! ✨

Do you need an ATS-compliant CV that tells a story to recruiters and the one that showcases your strength?

Or you need a LinkedIn profile optimization that makes you visible to potential employers?

We are what you need. Let our team of experts give you the best services that will speed up your chance of employability

#ResumeTips: Hobbies and Interests

When listing your hobbies in your resume/CV, always add hobbies relevant to the role...e.g Photography, Writing, Event Management, Fashion Designing etc.

Avoid using unproductive hobbies like watching movies, sleeping etc

Now..go and clear that mess in your CV 🏃‍♂️

CV Mistakes You Should Avoid
1. Graphic design can be a great way to stand out in an industry where creativity is needed. For most roles, it's recommended to avoid graphics as ATS (Application Tracking System) can't read this information and most likely be rejected. You can use the same space to write relevant skills and use keywords to improve your chances. 

Note: using your image is allowed based on which country check local requirements. 

2. Job Experience: Make sure you use an active verb and describe what you and what impact/achievements you made; otherwise, it just sounds like job spec. 

Example: 
I. Marketing: Created online sales funnel on social media, which increased lead conversion rate by 10%.

II. Sales: Exceeded all quotas, resulting in a 60% revenue increase over 12 months.

III. Graphic Designer: Used expertise in Adobe Creative Suite to design 100+ logos, social media posts per month for 10+ clients. 

IV. Event Planning: Lead organising and managing for 5+ corporate events attended by 500+ people. 

V. IT Architect: Used C++ to crate IT infrastructure for 10+ clients.

3. Number of Pages: 

66% Employers Say Entry-Level Workers Should Have 1 Page Resumes.
77% Employers Say Seasoned Workers Should Have 2+ Page Resumes

Five (5) Tips for Writing a Professional Resume/CV.

1. Relevance Experience
2. The Right Skills
3. Quantifiable Achievements
4. ATS-Friendly
5. Impeccable Formatting

1. Relevant Experience:
Make sure that the jobs, experience and achievements/awards that you include are relevant to the position you're applying for.

2. The Right Skills:
This is a great time to run wild with those keywords from the job description. For example if they're looking for someone with experience in Business Analysis, be sure to list it in your resume's skills section.

3. Quantifiable Achievements:
Your workplace accomplishments tell the story of the unique value you bring to an organization. Stay away from dry descriptions of job duties. Use numbers to help contextualize your achievements.

E.g. I led implementation of 400 million Naira institutional capacity building project...

4. ATS-Friendly:
An applicant tracking system (ATS) is a piece of software employers use to collect, scan, organize and rank applications. The key to getting your CV past ATS and into the hands of hiring managers are smart keyword usage and good formatting.

5. Impeccable Formatting:
Fornatting a resume/CV so that it looks professional amd attractive is important. Choose a CV template that suits your profession but try and avoid colour blocks, images, borders, and caligraphic fonts as these are common deterrent to ATS.

Here’s a guide to answering the salary question in an interview!

Answering this question wrong can seriously ruin your whole job interview. If you lowball yourself you could either go to work with far less than you could have received or they might think you don’t value yourself and you’ll lose out on the job.

On the other hand, if you pick a number too high they might think they can’t afford you and let you go.

So researching salary ranges for your industry and going in prepared is key 📌

CV Hack:

Remove objective statements because it's about you and not what you can bring to the company. Replace them with a streamlined professional summary which shows your skills, achievements, attributes and qualifications. You can include objective statements if you are a fresh graduate with no experience or you are doing a career pivot.

#CVHack:

Quantifiable Achievements:

Your CV should have an active and not a passive voice so please use action verbs which highlights impact like monitored, pioneered, engineered, led as opposed to writing words like responsible for, conducted etc.
