Showing that you're different
So how is it done? Because pretty poetry has no place in a business document. Hard-working professionals have no time for it. You're making a business proposition and your CV had better look like it. There could be 3,000 applicants for the job you want, why you?
Which means you've got to be business-like. Put yourself in the mind of your target employer. Are they buying what you've done, or what you are? Better still, what are you capable of doing in the future? Where will you take them if they hire you?
It might help to remember that from their perspective, you're a business unit - you either perform or you don't. And though your track record might look impressive, it's just history. No indication of the kind of employee you could be, working for them. So what kind of business unit should you be?
Go back to your portrait. Determined, perceptive, intelligent, proud - doesn't that feel like a performer? So use your list of achievements to PROVE these qualities. Write them so they DEMONSTRATE the business unit that you are. That you do stuff, and you get results - BECAUSE you are determined, perceptive, intelligent, proud.
