The main goal of the résumé is to get invited for a personal interview. This guide is a self-directed resource to get you started, as well as to complement what you learn in one of our workshops. It can also help you prepare for a meeting with a career advisor so you can have amore productive session. It contains a number of resources to help you create and revise your résumé in order to align it with the targeted position and highlights relevant skills, accomplishments, and qualifications. We recommend attending one of our résumé workshops and/or self-paced E-learning courses to round up your skills after using this selfdirected guide.  \nAll our offerings can be found on  \n[http//careerdev](http//careerdev).  \n2  \nHow to Write Accomplishment Statements  \nWhen viewing your CV/résumé, employers look for accomplishments rather than a description of your responsibilities. Accomplishment statements appear atthe top paragraph on your résumé and they demonstrate your proven ability to summarize what you have achieved in former positions.  \nOne suggested format is to begin your description of each position with an overview of the job, i.e. , what you helped do, figure out, or answer in your role; who you served; your budget; the region you were responsible for; the number and kind of staff you managed or were a part of; product or service lines, etc.  \nAfter this brief overview, what employers want to see is what you achieved on the job – and this is where accomplishment statements have value. Accomplishments refer to actions you have taken that show results or impact as opposed to tasks or effort. In other words, employers want you to differentiate yourself by showing why your actions have mattered and what difference you were able to make.  \nThe following examples show the impact of using accomplishment-driven statements.  \n> Relocated office over one weekend, planning and coordinating the logistics. (good)  \n> Relocated corporate office of 130 staff members over one weekend, planning and coordinating the logistics to result in zero disruption to operational schedules and productivity. (better)  \n\n| >\u003Cbr>> | Managed international development conference, coordinating all aspects from planning through implementation. (good)\u003Cbr>Managed a 2-day sustainability conference for 175 professionals from 6 regional offices. Planned and coordinated event logistics. Communicated with all participants and presenters. Result: ratings of “outstanding” by 95% of participants regarding event logistics, communication, and materials. (better) |\n| --- | --- |\n| >\u003Cbr>> | Developed new presentation methods for annual meetings to make presentations more interesting to participants. (good)\u003Cbr>Developed innovative presentation methods for annual meetings using visual effects technology. Increased viewer interest through video imagery and creative visual effects, resulting in specific feedback on improved presentation methods by more than 85% of participants. (better) |\n\n3  \nTo write accomplishment statements, follow this two-step process:  \n• Before you start writing your résumé, think about each position you have held and create a list of accomplishments that are related to the kind of work you are pursuing. Always use results, measurable impact and metrics when describing accomplishments.  \n• To help you to develop this list, ask yourself if you:  \n> increased efficiency or effect","cbCais8jwXgBamUq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais8jwXgBamUq","pdf",8825924,"English","# Introduction\n## How to Write Accomplishment Statements\n## How to Identify and Use Keywords\n## Résumé Samples\n## How to Write a Career Profile\n## Action Verbs\n## Tips for Preparing a Statement of Interest (SOI)\n## CV/Résumé and Statement of Interest Checklist","[{\"question\":\"What is the primary goal of a résumé in this guide?\",\"answer\":\"The main goal is to get invited for a personal interview.
