In this episode of The Dream Job Equation, Ben Passman shares a resume "makeover trick" - power up the language you use to describe your skills and experience! He gives examples of boring resume bullets versus zesty, compelling versions using strong action verbs and impressive metrics that spotlight growth, savings, comparisons, and revenue gains. Ben explains this grabs recruiter's attention like a Rockstar compared to passive duties. His formula: Highlight increases over time, use rankings and percentages to compare against competitors, quantify cost and time savings you drove. Sprinkling this spice makes you irresistible to hiring managers! Ben offers to review your resume and suggest punchy wording to showcase your awesomeness. As he says, skip the yawn - add some sizzle!
