00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:09,820

All right now we're going to get down to the awesome business of supercharging the body content of your



2

00:00:09,820 --> 00:00:11,670

resume by body content.



3

00:00:11,670 --> 00:00:17,410

What I mean here is organizational description's position descriptions bullet points.



4

00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:21,670

And for some people the volunteerism or project section of their resumes.



5

00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:26,170

So the three strategies that we're going to talk about here are weaving brands into your resume that



6

00:00:26,170 --> 00:00:32,980

people know quantifying whenever you can because people trust numbers and working details in because



7

00:00:32,980 --> 00:00:38,730

details help the invisible become visible which helps you build trust.



8

00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:40,780

So let's just get started here.



9

00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:43,070

But we're going to do is look at the story of Miranda.



10

00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,920

Miranda is a product manager for a local organic food company and she's building her resume.



11

00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:54,190

So what she's going to do to start off is build an organizational description for the first organization



12

00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:55,170

in her resume.



13

00:00:55,450 --> 00:01:00,700

So the the best place to start is you always want to mention the number of employees and the revenue



14

00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:06,160

or funding of the organization whenever possible and then start to think about the journalistic questions



15

00:01:06,430 --> 00:01:08,150

the journalistic questions are.



16

00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:15,480

Who what where why when and how these will guide your thinking as you think about this organization.



17

00:01:15,580 --> 00:01:19,310

So think who are their customers partners suppliers.



18

00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:20,820

Where did they operate.



19

00:01:20,860 --> 00:01:27,250

And now Miranda can start incorporating those thoughts into the organization description in her resume.



20

00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,910

And this will help make the invisible visible.



21

00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920

Now she's going to move on to the job description.



22

00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,340

In her the position description in her resume.



23

00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,110

And this is just pretty abstract.



24

00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,210

Just cover briefly the responsibilities of the role.



25

00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:45,310

Now when you get into the body bullets part of your resume it's important to understand that we want



26

00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:51,340

to show all six of the big six skills throughout your resume but we want to give priority to the top



27

00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:53,390

priority skills whenever possible.



28

00:01:53,410 --> 00:01:57,040

So you kind of want to create a balance is a little bit of hard science here.



29

00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,540

You want to make sure that you show each one of the big six bills if at all possible.



30

00:02:00,550 --> 00:02:04,110

If you can't that's OK but you definitely want to prioritize.



31

00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:09,640

You know number one through four whenever possible if you need to review the Big Six skills that's another



32

00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:10,250

module.



33

00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,550

Check it out here.



34

00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,150

So what you're going to do to create a great bullet point is you're going to start by just you don't



35

00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:21,940

have to phrase it just get it started and then you're going to supercharge it with France quantities.



36

00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,930

Indeed.



37

00:02:23,170 --> 00:02:26,860

So Miranda is a product manager and she wants to show salesmanship.



38

00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:32,130

So she's going to think well I was the sales manager for two product lines and then she's going to supercharge



39

00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:35,480

it with brands who did I sell these product lines too.



40

00:02:35,620 --> 00:02:39,790

Well maybe she sold them to care for Wal-Mart and Safeway.



41

00:02:39,790 --> 00:02:42,010

She starts to put that into the bullet point.



42

00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:46,970

Then she's going to quantify how many of these units that I sell 200000 a year.



43

00:02:47,050 --> 00:02:49,810

How much revenue did that mean to this organization.



44

00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,470

$400000 a year starts to build trust.



45

00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,880

Now details and details are about the journalists that questions who what where why when how.



46

00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,570

So who's going to think where.



47

00:03:00,670 --> 00:03:04,520

Well I was responsible for all of the west coast of North America.



48

00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:10,390

How did I do this by cultivating excellent relationships with the purchasers of these products at these



49

00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:11,700

organizations.



50

00:03:11,730 --> 00:03:17,770

Now you see how you can create great bullet points and you just move through your resume doing the organizations



51

00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:23,050

the position description and the bullet points as appropriate for you to create a powerful resume.



52

00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:28,990
