Seven Steps for Showing Your Worth on Your Résumé

What Can You Do For Us? The Power of Accomplishments
By Arlene S. Hirsch, author of "Job Search and Career Checklists"

From an employer's point of view, there is no greater predictor of success than past performance. To convince potential employers that you are the best candidate for the job, you must be able to clearly articulate and sell your accomplishments.

Step 1: Start by writing one-line statements about various aspects of your experiences (in school, at work and through community/professional activities). Use your résumé checklists to organize your thoughts.

Step 2: Convert each activity into an accomplishment statement. Accomplishment statements usually begin with an action verb, describe your activities and end with a statement of what you achieved.

Examples:
•  Reduced operating expenses by 25 percent by improving efficiency and decreasing expenses.
•  Selected new vendors for office services, resulting in improved customer service and satisfaction.
•  Generated $50,000 in new sales during first 12 months.
•  Created media relations campaign for healthcare provider, resulting in story placements in three major metropolitan newspapers.

Step 3: Make your list of accomplishment statements as comprehensive as possible. You can always make editorial changes later.

Step 4: After you have completed your list, edit the statements to use the most powerful verbiage and reflect tangible evidence of results.

Step 5: If you are using a chronological résumé format, make sure that you list each accomplishment directly beneath the company where you acquired it.

Step 6: If you are using a functional résumé, you will need to group related accomplishments together under functional headings (regardless of when and where you accomplished those results).

Step 7: Finally, review your accomplishment statements in the context of your specific job objective; then organize and present the statements in order of their relevance to the potential employer.
