\nTo really capture the attention of the tired, rushed person screening resumes, try using numbers in your resume<\/a>. By quantifying the work you do, you communicate your results, as opposed to a description of what you do. Consider this example from an entry-level fast food resume: \u201cServed 236 drive-through customers per hour, beating corporate standard by five percent\u201d versus \u201cServed drive-through customers food\u201d or \u201cWorked in fast food window\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nWhen you tie numbers to the work you do, you signal that you understand the employer\u2019s perspective. Employers hire job candidates who add value to the organization. Anyone can \u201cwork in the fast food window\u201d. But not just anyone can improve productivity, reduce costs, improve customer satisfaction, increase revenues, meet timelines, keep projects under budget, or acquire new customers. (Xanax\/a>) Focus on the ways you add value and you\u2019ll help employers see the reasons they should hire you \u2013 and not whoever sent the next resume on their list.<\/p>\n
