All right now we're going to get down to the awesome business of supercharging the body content of your
resume by body content.
What I mean here is organizational description's position descriptions bullet points.
And for some people the volunteerism or project section of their resumes.
So the three strategies that we're going to talk about here are weaving brands into your resume that
people know quantifying whenever you can because people trust numbers and working details in because
details help the invisible become visible which helps you build trust.
So let's just get started here.
But we're going to do is look at the story of Miranda.
Miranda is a product manager for a local organic food company and she's building her resume.
So what she's going to do to start off is build an organizational description for the first organization
in her resume.
So the the best place to start is you always want to mention the number of employees and the revenue
or funding of the organization whenever possible and then start to think about the journalistic questions
the journalistic questions are.
Who what where why when and how these will guide your thinking as you think about this organization.
So think who are their customers partners suppliers.
Where did they operate.
And now Miranda can start incorporating those thoughts into the organization description in her resume.
And this will help make the invisible visible.
Now she's going to move on to the job description.
In her the position description in her resume.
And this is just pretty abstract.
Just cover briefly the responsibilities of the role.
Now when you get into the body bullets part of your resume it's important to understand that we want
to show all six of the big six skills throughout your resume but we want to give priority to the top
priority skills whenever possible.
So you kind of want to create a balance is a little bit of hard science here.
You want to make sure that you show each one of the big six bills if at all possible.
If you can't that's OK but you definitely want to prioritize.
You know number one through four whenever possible if you need to review the Big Six skills that's another
module.

So what you're going to do to create a great bullet point is you're going to start by just you don't
have to phrase it just get it started and then you're going to supercharge it with France quantities.
Indeed.
So Miranda is a product manager and she wants to show salesmanship.
So she's going to think well I was the sales manager for two product lines and then she's going to supercharge
it with brands who did I sell these product lines too.
Well maybe she sold them to care for Wal-Mart and Safeway.
She starts to put that into the bullet point.
Then she's going to quantify how many of these units that I sell 200000 a year.
How much revenue did that mean to this organization.
$400000 a year starts to build trust.
Now details and details are about the journalists that questions who what where why when how.
So who's going to think where.
Well I was responsible for all of the west coast of North America.
How did I do this by cultivating excellent relationships with the purchasers of these products at these
organizations.
Now you see how you can create great bullet points and you just move through your resume doing the organizations
the position description and the bullet points as appropriate for you to create a powerful resume.
All right cool.
