Welcome to this month's edition of Brooke County Libraries Resume Tips!
Tip #5 - Don't be afraid to brag!
Your resume is going to be one of many, remember that. And in this increasing digital age, you may look like just another attachment on an email. So it's important to make yourself stand out.
It's easier that we think to give ourselves a subtle shoutout. Include your accomplishments and awards, certificate completions, and projects assisting your former boss!
Did you help your coworkers? Maybe trained newbies?
Did you review data or actions and make recommendations?
What would you have included in your spoken interview or even in your last yearly evaluation?
As long as you don't bog down your one page document with extra details like it's a storybook. Don't hold back on your triumphs. They may be what sets you apart from other candidates!
