Throw functional responsibilities from the job description into the ballot box!
The functional responsibilities that are indicated in the resume are usually the most commonplace and boring thing. In 30% of cases, they are copied from their job description, in 50% of cases - from other people's resumes or job descriptions, and only 20% really write them on their own with high quality.
I always recommend writing responsibilities, not areas of responsibility, and describing them in the form of actions that you performed. This is approximately the same as with achievements, but figures are not obligatory here, responsibilities may not be so impressive, and, of course, these are not one-time actions.
Before writing them, I recommend reading a few vacancies to imagine what you should write about. Next, write down the duties in the order of their importance: in the first place the most significant (development of a strategy, budget planning, the launch of new products on the market), and in the last - the least (preparation of reports).
Sell job title and company name
Job titles and a list of companies - this, in fact, is exactly what the recruiter is looking for in the resume in the first place. It’s like a customer glides at a store shelf in search of familiar brands (Nescafe, Procter & Gamble, Gallina Blanka, Mars, Snickers, Tide). It is on these lines that the recruiter forms the initial cost of the resume in his head and only then begins to look for details.
The title of the post should be generally accepted. In our countries, there has long been a gap between what is written in the work book and what the position is called inside the company. But at the same time, many people are afraid to properly name their position in the resume not as it is called in the company. For example, if you worked as a marketing manager for a certain product, then it is logical to call you a brand manager in a resume. Everyone will understand what you were doing, and the name "brand manager" is more selling than "marketing manager." If you were the head of the sales department, reporting to the general director, you had 100 people on the team and you were negotiating with key customers, you are the commercial director.
If you were a leader, be sure to write in brackets how many subordinates you had. Mentioning subordinates and their number always makes your resume more expensive.
The name of the company:
We write only the generally accepted name. If you work in the company Nails and Nuts LLC, which is an official dealer of Coca-Cola, then just write Coca-Cola. Believe me, nobody is interested in the legal name of the company.
In parentheses we write the number of employees, for example: IBM (3,000 employees).
Under the name of the company we write briefly in 7-10 words what it does. For example: one of the top 5 in the field of consumer lending.
If the company is little-known, but works with well-known brands, we must indicate this. For example: "Autosuperuperlizing" (leasing partner of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Honda). The name of famous brands near an unknown company will significantly enhance the perception of the company.
