07Putting it on your resume

ResumeXRays guidance
BEE · How to show it

Lead with what you built. For a Job Zone 4 role, hiring managers and parsers both look for outcomes before credentials. Put two or three results at the top of each job entry, with the scale or effect stated plainly.

List the software you have actually used. Employers scan for Microsoft Access, Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Office software. Put the ones you know in a skills line, spelled the way the vendor spells them.

Show speaking and active listening, not just reading comprehension. Speaking and active listening rank close to reading comprehension for this occupation. One bullet per role that shows a decision, a tradeoff or a result covers them.
