Killer Resume Secrets Revealed!
By Pat RileyA quick note about Resumes that get Results!
I get dozens of resumes every day from people just like you who have the same dream of becoming a pharmaceutical sales rep....Do you know what catches my eye or what makes your resume stand out from the crowd?
***ACCOMPLISHMENTS***
Accomplishments articulate results and results get you hired!
Here is why:
Accomplishments are crucial to a great resume because they articulate your professional performance or results. Hiring managers use your past performance as a key indicator to predict your future performance (i.e., if you were a quota buster in your last position, you will most likely be a quota buster in your next position).
Accomplishments should be objective, quantitative, and measurable. Hiring managers like to see "dollars, numbers, and percents" on your resume. Start each accomplishment with an action verb. Also, use bullet points to set off your accomplishments. Do not bury your accomplishments in paragraph form.
Here are some examples:
Increased sales 50%, resulting in $60,000 additional revenue
Increased customer base 200% in 6 months
Quota Buster May 2001, June 2001, August 2001
Earned the Pinnacle Award 2000 for top sales in the country
Earned the Rookie of the Year award for 2000
Earned Hawaii trip for biggest sale in 2000
