Reason 1: Job Applicants Not Allowed To Place True Information On Resume'

The word,"Not Allowed" is a strong statement. Let's get into what that means.

Let's talk about a job you have today or even your previous job. While you are doing what you are paid to do, your boss tells you to do something else also. You being a team player, you happily agree to perform it. After a few weeks since you performed that task so well, that task becomes something that is almost required as part of your job. Is it something that should be part of your job or is it just another task that really is not?

When it is time to document what you do (on your resume'), that task does not really fit into your job title or what you were hired to perform. It is really an entirely different function. You know this when management states, "You don't have to place it down on paper, we will take care of you when the time comes!" When you look at your resume', you and everyone else would never even have known (or know) that you performed that task.

Why is this important?! If you don't tell people the great things you did, chances are no one will ever find out. Never brag but when it comes to interviewing and finding a job, you need to sell yourself and tell it nonchalantly of course!

Actual Examples:

There have been people we know that were told that their boss was ill and they had to take over there bosses high-level management position and perform it as if it were them. They were happy to take that responsibility BUT when it came down to documenting it on their resume', how do they do that when there job title only states they were responsible for a lower level of employees?

We work with another individual that has a technical degree. They (per managements direction) took on the responsibility to start a new organization, manage multiple employees and also perform various task above and beyond what their job title was. They could have easily have stated that they were performing management at a much higher level of management than what there job title referred to. When you view there resume' today, you would never know that they performed that level of responsibility/tasks.

How do you write this on your resume'? You can say it in an interview but you may never have the opportunity to tell the hiring employer. Also, it may conflict somewhat with what you wrote making you less credible.

The Credentials Portfolio states to the world that they have and can perform at those levels with flying colors even if there resume' does not reflect it!
