3. Listing only your duties and responsibilities

Nobody cares what you do onrepparttar 101590 job. I mean, if you are a Receptionist or a Sales Broker, you haverepparttar 101591 same duties every Receptionist or Sales Broker has, right?

But before you sock me inrepparttar 101592 head for being rude, let me tell you this.

Even though companies don’t care about WHAT you do on a daily basis they do care aboutrepparttar 101593 RESULTS of what you do?

What results, you ask?

Like: saving money forrepparttar 101594 company, earning money, otherwise called bottom-line results.

So, do you have results like that? Of course, you do!

Just answer these questions:

How did you contribute torepparttar 101595 company’s bottom line?

How did you do your job better and / or more efficiently than someone else might have done it?

Considerrepparttar 101596 following 2 “job descriptions.” You tell me which one sounds better:

“Kept files, maintained up to date records.”

Or

“Saved company $10,000 / year by developing and implementing a new and efficient filing system for all sales transactions.”

See what I mean?
