You can’t assume your past implies anything when you’re applying to a new company
It’s all about how you articulate your past.
If it takes 5+ seconds and some mental gymnastics to comprehend why you’re a fit, you’ll be ignored.
Here are three ways to SPELL IT OUT and become less work for hiring managers and recruiters:
1. Include your top 3-5 selected achievements for the specific role you’re looking for in your LinkedIn “About” and in the top fold of your resume. Don’t make anyone go digging through your experience to find it.
2. Customize your cover letter for every company you apply to and send it directly to the person hiring for the role. Take exact words from their job description, company website, and use them directly in your messaging to them. Frame yourself as the solution to their hiring problem.
3. Include benefit statements with the claims you make. Use the “Personal Value Formula” [Skills + Experience + Metrics] to show what you can do, then be specific about why that benefits the current company you’re applying to: “This would benefit company XYZ because…”
How else do you articulate your value?
