Resume Tips from a Product Recruiter — Part 2
Are you writing a job description or a resume? Learn the differences between the two.
Before hitting ‘submit,’ take a moment to consider: Is your resume a true reflection of your accomplishments, or does it merely read like a generalized job description?
Many candidates inadvertently end up writing generalized job descriptions instead of resumes that showcase their achievements.
In this video, our Product Practice Lead, Heidi Ram, clarifies the key differences between a job description and a resume, emphasizing that the latter should focus on the accomplishments and outcomes you have made in your career.
To craft a standout resume, candidates should highlight their unique contributions and impact in previous roles. Rather than providing a laundry list of duties, job seekers should create compelling resume points that demonstrate their value to potential employers. Using the tips in the video, Product Managers can create a next-level resume that sets them apart from the competition, increasing their chances of landing their dream job.
