Resume Tips
Here are some questions to help you build your resume by adding more bullets, as well as prepare you for your interview. Remember never assume anything; write as if the person reading your resume knows nothing.
1
There's nothing you can do to change your work experience, so the best strategy is to develop a forward-looking resume that shows the value you offer potential employers. If you are sticking with a chronological resume format, lead with a Qualifications Summary, a narrative profile summing up your key qualifications for the position. This will draw attention to your strengths.
2
Think about other activities you can use to fill that time period. You might have experience relevant to your job target, regardless of whether you were paid. Volunteer activities, community involvement...
3
What did you bring to the company that was not in place before?
4
Did you implement any new procedures/policies and how did they streamline and/or increase productivity?
5
Did you improve/change "That’s the way it's always been done for years!" and what was the outcome (i.e. incentives, quality of life, motivation, moral, etc.)?
6
Specify specific projects you worked on and what you did on these projects?
7
What kind of role did you play in training employees?
8
Did you receive any awards; break any records (sales, productivity, absenteeism, turnover, etc)?
9
Did you supervise/manage employees? For what purpose did you train (if you did).
10
Remember never assume anything, write as if the person reading your resume knows nothing)?

Of course, we will leave things out of the resume to discuss on the interview.
