As unemployment numbers rise, so do applications. One tip for writing an amazing resume has to do with what resume words or phrases you an add that will instantly make an application stand out. Now this can be a bit of a loaded question and the reason I say that is because different words or phrases can stand out to different hiring managers in different roles and in different industries! Think about this — if I were a hiring manager sorting through resumes trying to find a project manager, words like Kaizen, Lean Six Sigma and “managing projects, employees, subcontracts and budgets” may stand out more than say the nursing hiring manager who may like the phrase, “skilled nurse with a passion for compassion.” So essentially, there are really not too many catch-all phrases that can be utilized for all resumes. I mean there will be some…I for instance love words like pragmatic, laser-focused, gaining buy-in, turnaround management, change evangelist, customer advocate and full life cycle. Also, I think it’s important that the candidate demonstrates impacts to the bottom-line (or accomplishments) under their experience section…some examples of these, what I call business quantifiers, are:
? Streamlining operational efficiency
? Cutting costs
? Achieving cost-savings
? Enhancing resource allocation/utilization
? Saving time
? Securing revenue gains
? Maximizing profitability
? Optimizing productivity
