This is pretty clutch, imo.

Testing Resume Line Items

Is it possible to "test" a resume? Besides giving it to someone for their impression, it is possible to self-test it. I have two ways to test your resume. One methodological and one is technology driven.

Here's how you can test your resume details:


First Method XYZ Structure Method

Look at each line item (ahem, bullet point), and run this test:

Achieved X, by Doing Y, which resulted in Z

Where X, Y, and Z, each represent a section for a total of 3 sections.

Example: “Accelerated key accounting process by creating process templates based on requirements gathered with 7 stakeholders, which resulted in a 80% faster dept. processing time”

Example: “Achieved high customer testimonials through excellent customer service delivery and relationship management which resulted in high-performance based payout of 12% of salary”.
