When writing a resume, we have to pay attention to many things, so it can quickly happen that we forget something. The reasons why employers do not form the best opinion of us are hidden in the little things.
We already know that the CV must be written in grammatically correct language and in a way that attracts the attention of the employer. Directors often look for the right candidates for the advertised position based on specific criteria.
According to the words JT O'Donnell, the general director of the company WorkItDaily, published in the magazine Inc., you are employers dismiss people who don't use numbers on their resumes as liars. Namely, candidates should support their claims with concrete data, such as the percentage increase in revenue that the candidate's employment would bring to the company.
A large number of job applicants make this mistake in their resumes. As a result, bosses question their past achievements. If a candidate can't back up their experience with numbers, it's hard to tell if they've really achieved anything at all. This is not good at all, because the employer wants to know how the candidate contributed to success in previous jobs.
If you have no idea what information to put in numbers on your resume, O'Donnell advises to present simple information, such as: the number of calls you are used to making on a daily basis.
