What Are You Proud Of?
What have you accomplished this year that you are proud of? Take a moment and think hard.
Does any of the stuff you thought of come from what you did at work?
I hope so, because the stuff you are proud of at work is what makes you stand out in your resume. It’s what makes you unique.
Too often we fill our resumes full of stuff that we were responsible for and what we did as part of our daily tasks. That’s pretty boring stuff. Company name, title, responsibilities. Company name, title, responsibilities. Company name, title, responsibilities. Blah, blah, blah.
I challenge you to remove all of that rhetorical crap off your resume and see what’s left. If what’s left is not a list of achievement’s that you’re proud off, you got some work to do.
