Know Your Facts

Make sure you know your facts. And by that we mean YOUR facts; the ones that describe you and your skills. Employers want to know (1) how long? (2) what skills? (3) certificates?, etc. They want to know your facts!

Make sure to take the time to add it up. Look at your resume and summarizes your facts in the "Skills" section. You should know how many years/months experience you have in your professional areas, what job duties you've done, what equipment/programs you've used, and any training you've done.

You don't have to put it all on your resume, but during an interview it is great to be able to say exactly how long or how much experience you have.

Example : 5 years Accounting Clerk experience, Proficient in QuickBooks, Microsoft Suite and MAS 90.

You can't argue the facts - clear, concise bullet points are a hiring managers' best friend.

Happy Job Hunting!
