Processing Questions to Help Quantify the Value You Offer Your Employer

Go back and review each period of employment listed on your resume. Ask the following questions, then revise your statements to reflect your achievements.

How did I improve the customer experience?
How did I reduce expenses?
How did I enhance team or staff performance?
What solutions or recommendations did I offer, and which were also implemented by management?
How did I improve the variety and/or quality of our good and services?
How did I increase sales?
What challenging circumstances did I manage or overcome to get the job done for my employer?
What awards or commendations did I receive for the quality of my work?

As you transform your statements into achievement statements, express your achievements using numbers, % and $. That way you QUANTIFY for the recruiter the VALUE you contributed at each job.
