A resume that truly showcases your value takes a different approach than the conventional one. The goal is to uncover and accurately present your "full value" — which is almost always overlooked by standard resume practices.
This means accurately presenting the facts of your experience: the duration, environment, and relational nature of what you have done, rather than subjective or generic statements. Accurate facts are far more persuasive than impressive-sounding adjectives.
Depth Over Surface
Deeper thinking about your activities and achievements allows you to present your skills and accomplishments in a more meaningful way. A prioritized series of definable skills combined with effective keyword usage make your resume discoverable to the right audience.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Your resume needs to perform well in online databases and services. Search engine optimization (SEO) techniques during construction help recruiters quickly identify your suitability for relevant positions. It only takes one missing keyword for a resume to be overlooked. Selecting and presenting the most important keywords — together with presenting your full value — allows your resume to rank among the top candidates you are competing with.
Accessing The Hidden Market
For a resume to perform well it must be visible to the hidden market where 80–90% of jobs reside. The hidden market consists of all the places where employers are looking for you, rather than you responding to job postings. Proper presentation, targeted distribution, and effective content are required to maximize a resume's performance.
Who Is This Relevant For?
The concept of presenting full value on a resume applies to all professions and levels of experience. If your resume accurately and specifically represents your background, it will outperform resumes that rely on general statements and vague claims about results.
