I'll go straight to the point. This has been a proven working method for me. First I combine all of the job duties I ever had in my life for every job I held, align them and pick the 2 most relevant experiences to a specific job. Second thing is I then learn about a skill or do a quick udemy/coursera course about that specific job.(The courses are hacked courses I always get for free). Third thing is I boost the experience level by years and reword the “Job position”. By doing these 3 things on my resume, I landed better paying jobs everytime. Then during the interview I try to “educate” the interviewer to show my grasp of the subject and how I would be the best fit for this role. Works everytime. Below is my greatest example of what I mean for the resume part:
Before:
-
Title: Insurance Sales agent
-
Experience: 3 months
-
Duties: Insurance sales and promotion
-
Salary associated: 100%
After:
-
Title: Senior Insurance Executive
-
Experience: 4 years(I always put 4 years for one or two experiences because it shows that you work for years and don't change jobs frequently)
-
Duties: Tons of bullshits like, Generate leads, close sales, analyse risks
-
Salary associated: 160%
-
Skills I learned: Everything about insurance terms, concepts. Risk management, some finance courses and learned advance database usage like Excel(with formulas and shit) and others. Perfected my mail and phone etiquettes. And other skills linked to that role.
-
Status?: Landed the job but quit due to toxic work culture.
