Don’t be a Jobsplainer
Are you a Jobsplainer?
The number 1 mistake candidates make when applying for a role is using incomplete resumes, aka "Jobsplaining".
Jobsplaining is when you explain your role, responsibilities and career goals without substance.
The problem this creates is your resume is going to blend in with the rest of the candidates and make a hiring manager's eyes roll faster than a teenage daughter's reaction to her dad's jokes.
Let's make sure your resume is presenting you in the right way by using these tips:
💪 Value-Focused Content:
Rather than listing responsibilities, focus on how you've created value in your roles.
Highlight specific instances where your actions led to company growth, cost reduction, or efficiency improvements.
📈 Impactful Metrics:
Use concrete numbers and results to illustrate your achievements.
This could include revenue you've generated, the size of teams you've managed, or the percentage increase in productivity under your leadership.
👑 Leadership and Influence:
Detail your experience in guiding teams and influencing business decisions.
Showcase your skills in strategic planning, team building, and driving organizational change.
🏅Continuous Improvement:
Emphasize your commitment to personal and professional growth.
Mention any recent advanced training, industry conferences, or relevant educational pursuits that keep you at the forefront of your field.
🔒 Professional Presentation:
Adopt a modern, streamlined format for your resume.
Use a clean design that makes strategic use of white space, ensuring that your most impressive achievements stand out.
Incorporating these elements can enhance the effectiveness of your resume, showcasing a blend of strategic thinking, results-oriented achievements, and continuous personal development.
