Experience is crucial when it comes to demonstrating that you can actually use that impressive set of skills! You want to show recruiters that you have a working knowledge of how to leverage your abilities to make a positive impact in your field.
Your experience section should show a steady trend of advancement and complexity to reflect your increasing specialization over time. Use your history to show your ability to improve!
The best way to demonstrate improvement is through numbers. Provide quantifiable data that backs your abilities and measures your success:
- 4-5 sample work experience bullet points. Guidelines:
- Don’t use bullet points from teh resume if they’re not good (i.e. vague with metrics being 100% or random counts of something).
- Research “what does {profession} do” to get a better sense. Should be specific to that profession.
- Include technology (if technical role. Like programming language or framework) plus the impact of the project.
- Impact needs to be a number and it can be revenue, costs savings, time savings, efficiency improvement, churn reduction, improvement in customer conversion rate, etc..
