I want to start by being clear: This is a topic I've covered before. I'm covering it again because, based on the resumes that come to me for consults, ya'll haven't gotten the message yet.  In addition to touching on this topic in several episodes, I specifically covered job duties and achievements in episode #174. I'm going to expand on the content from that episode in this one.  What I seeLet's start with what I see on almost every resume that comes my way: either there isn't an achievement in sight, or the few achievements that are there are mixed in with bulleted job duties – and they are poorly written.  This creates what we resume writers call “death by bullets.” A looooong laundry list of job duties and maybe a few achievements that don't impress the reader and causes them to lose interest fast.  Job duties are important, because this is your opportunity to tell the reader what you did on a day-to-day basis. This is particularly helpful when you have had job duties outside what someone with that job title would normally have.  Job duties tell the employer WHAT you did. There is an assumption that everyone with XXX job title does approximately the same thing on a daily basis.  Achievements, on the other hand, tell an employer HOW WELL you did your job. This is your opportunity to show how much money you made or saved, how you improved efficiency, increased retention…whatever is appropriate for your job function.  Think of it this way. If you were a Nike athletic shoe, your job description might read:Made of rubber. Come in a variety of color combinations. Includes shoelaces and an insert. Can be spot-washed by hand. Can be worn for athletic or casual wear – by men and women.  Here are your achievement bullets: Shaved 7.8 seconds off Sue Smith's running performance in the mile. Received prime placement in athletic shoe stores including… Played key role in Jonathan Jones' 15th-place finish in the Boston Marathon.  Generated $1.2 gazillion dollars top-line revenue.   Now, let's break down the specifics of job descriptions and achievements.  Job descriptionsThis should be a 2-to-3-line paragraph of the daily job duties you performed – either most frequently, those that are most applicable to the specific position you are applying for, or those not normally performed by someone with your job function (but only if you want to continue to perform those duties).   There's no room for fluffy words or extra verbiage in this paragraph. Stick with the most important, most relevant, and/or most differentiating tasks.  Here's an example: Aligned marketing plans and GTM tactics to drive audience awareness and growth for $12M international entertainment product. Drove branding, design, website, video production, customer journey, social media, billboards, subway ads, taxi tops, paid ads, customer experience improvements, celebrity and influencer partnerships, and content creation.  Here's another example: Drove all management and operational components including reporting functions, scheduling, hiring, onboarding, training, policies / procedures, compliance, and strategic planning. Collaborated with marketing director to promote and grow all offices. Managed P&L including net profitability, net revenue per visit, and net cost per visit.  Note that these are paragraphs – not bullets. Bullets should be reserved for achievements ONLY.   AchievementsYour achievements are what market you on your resume. When you mix your job duties with your achievements, you dilute the effectiveness of your achievements.  Ideally, you will have progressively more achievements with more recent jobs. At most, 5 achievements per role.  What makes an achievement impactful? -Is specific-Starts with an action verb (parallel structure)-Leads with results-Leaves the reader wanting more (2 lines max)  Example #1: Instead of  Grew customer base This high-impact achievement bullet:  Catapulted customer base 400% and revenue 700% by launching a comprehensive social media campaign.   Example #2:  Instead of  Managed new-hire in-processing This high-impact achievement bullet:  Processed 140 new employees in just 30 days including all paperwork, orientation, security clearances, and computer access.   Example #3:  Instead of  Managed IT installation project This high-impact achievement bullet:  Spearheaded 1200-unit IT installation project including beta testing, identifying and training superusers, and troubleshooting. How do you know what to include as an achievement? Here are some guidelines: -Choose achievements that, in combination, present you as well-rounded and competent for the role you are applying for.  -Focus on achievements that demonstrate the skills you want to use moving forward. If, for example, you're really good at managing budgets but hate them, and they aren't an essential part of the job you're applying for, don't focus an achievement on your budgeting magic.  Two more things: With some clients, I will separate out a 1-to-2- line statement about the scope of their work. Doing this makes it easy for the reader to see things such as size of budgets managed, number of direct reports, reporting structure, size of sales territory, etc.  Here's an example:  Directly supervised 5; total team of 14 | Hired, developed, and managed marketers, vendors, and agencies | $3.8M Marketing budget Finally, I am increasingly beginning each of my clients' bullets with an introductory phrase. This serves two purposes: It allows the reader to quickly scan the resume and determine the “buckets” of achievements this candidate has had, and it further packs the resume with keywords that will increase its score in the ATS.  I determine what phrases to use based on two things: The content of the achievement (what is it really about) and the keywords I find in the job descriptions the client gives me.  Examples: Stakeholder Advocacy & Education: Developed and managed Regional Advocate Program, which delivered grassroots, legislative, political, and investor development support and resources to Florida Chamber, local chambers of commerce, legislators, candidates, and business advocacy partners across 6 regions of Florida.  Efficiency Enhancements: Achieved annual cost reduction of 30%, enhanced financial reporting processes, and increased productivity through strategic technology implementations including dashboarding and cloud solutions.  Latinx Community Leadership: Recognized with Hispanic Heritage Foundation Award — for courage and commitment to elevating Latinx culture in all its expressions.   Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The document and coaching programs offered by Exclusive Career Coaching will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2        

Today, we're talking about how to develop your elevator pitch. This is your 15-to-30 second “commercial” about yourself, which you will need for use in a variety of settings, including: -Introducing yourself at a networking meeting -Selling yourself to a potential employer -Selling yourself, your company, or your product/service to a potential customer If you're not familiar with the concept, the idea is that you could say your elevator pitch while going from one floor to the next on an elevator. Elevator pitches come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on how you're using them. I gave some excellent examples of elevator pitches in episode #209; I've included a link to that episode in the show notes. https://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-01-13-209-developing-your-elevator-pitch  First, I want to give you some big picture do's and don'ts for elevator pitches, then we'll drill down to specific frameworks. -Keep it short and succinct -Don't be predictable -Leave them wanting more -Engage them with a question  Now, let's build a few elevator pitches for different situations. Situation #1: Networking for Your Next JobYou're at a networking event, where you want to meet several people. You want to keep it short – remember, in most cases, these people aren't in a position to actually hire you, but rather connect you with others who are. “Hi, my name is Sue Smith, and I help mid-tier healthcare organizations optimize technology so they can increase profitability and streamline processes. Most recently, I did this as Director of IT at Zulu Healthcare System – and now I'm looking for my next role with an organization that wants to make sure they are making the most of their tech spend and are fully utilizing what they already have.” (23 seconds)  Situation #2: Introducing Yourself to a Potential EmployerNow, you are in front of someone who IS in a position to hire you – say, at a chance meeting. You've found yourself in line for coffee with the CIO of ABC Hospital, one of your target employers. “Hi, my name is Sue Smith, and I'm the former IT Director at Zulu Healthcare System. I've been speaking with Joe Jones in your IT department because ABC Hospital is one of my dream employers. One of my greatest strengths is making sure my employer is maximizing the impact of their tech spend – they are only buying what they really need and they are fully utilizing what they buy. I would love the opportunity to sit down with you and describe some of the results I've gotten for my previous employers – would this be possible?” (30 seconds)  Situation #3: You've Just Randomly Met SomeoneHere's the deal with this situation: You aren't in “networking mode,” but at the same time you don't want to pass up an opportunity, because…you never know. Let's say you are randomly chatting with someone a friend has introduced you to at a house party. Keep in mind that this elevator pitch might occur after you've been on the elevator for a few floors – it would likely come across as too aggressive if you started right in. “My name is Sue Smith, and until recently, I was the IT Director at Zulu Healthcare System. I'm looking for my next role in healthcare IT, so if you know of anyone in a leadership role in healthcare in Tallahassee, I would love an introduction!” Note that I didn't get into the weeds with my qualifications or brand attributes – there is no need to.  Situation #4: You are at a Networking Event, and Your Goal is to Sell Your Product or Service. Let's say this is a Chamber of Commerce networking event, and you are looking for people who are unhappy with their current cleaning service – and are in a position to influence a change in this regard at their organization. “Hi, my name is Jack Graham, and I am the Sales Director for Service Excellence Cleaning. How satisfied are you with your current cleaning service?” “We are relatively satisfied, I guess. They charge a fair price and are pretty dependable.” (NOTE: Not a glowing recommendation, but they aren't completely unhappy either.) “What would you say if I offered to bring a crew in FOR FREE to clean your office one day next week? I guarantee we will outperform your current service and our recommendations on Yelp and Google are outstanding – take a look! All I ask is that we have a chance to speak afterwards to discuss options for working together going forward.” Notice how conversational this was, rather than a monologue by someone determined to sell you cleaning services whether you needed them or not.  Situation #5: You are a solopreneur at a networking event, selling a service. “My name is Lesa Edwards, and I help high-achieving, mid-career professionals land their dream job and get promoted.” Notice how short this one is – there is no reason for me to go into detail unless the person I'm speaking with is interested in knowing more. Notice also that I didn't tell them HOW I do what I do…I didn't get specific about the services I provide. I want to pique their curiosity – if they have any curiosity about me. Let's say they respond with:            “Are you a recruiter?” “No, recruiters work for employers to staff their organizations. I work exclusively with prospective employees – preparing them for the job search. I'm one of fewer than 25 Master Resume Writers in the world and I'm a Certified Job Search Strategist, so I give my clients exceptional marketing materials and a job search strategy that gets great results FAST.”   As a review, here are the big-picture considerations for your elevator pitches: -Keep it short and succinct -Don't be predictable -Leave them wanting more -Engage them with a question Are you in the wrong job that chips away at you every day? The document and coaching programs offered by Exclusive Career Coaching will help you find a job that uses your zone of genius, recognizes your value, and pays you what you're worth.  If you're ready to take your job search to the next level by working with a highly experienced professional with a track record of client success, schedule a complimentary consult to learn more:  https://calendly.com/lesaedwards/zoom-meetings2

Space through a Painting Art Therapy class w/ Sue Smith & Katriel. *What to Bring to Class ~ *Self *several sheets of paper *wide selection of acrylic paint that you love *paint brushes *cup with water *pastels Scope of Today's Class: Today, I share my unique process with others, which allows you to increase the volume of the soft voice within and harness your soul's wisdom. The method bypasses the mind and our clever thinking and reconnects us to heart wisdom. We use colour, mark-making in paints and pastels and multi-media materials to gain insight through the hidden realms into the wisdom of our soul's knowing.  We're encouraged to delve into our emotions, sensing a colour intuitively, and convey the associated feeling and fluid energy on a metaphysical plane. This process generates insightful guidance from the heart to liberate ourselves from history, including our traumas, past pain, and limiting beliefs.

God lives among us and within us here and now. Like Mary, we are called to be God-bearers, to make God's compassion and justice real and present in our world. How? Answering that question requires discernment, as we discover what gifts God has given us and how best to use them. But all the basics--in the Sermon on the Mount or from Jesus' own works of mercy, justice, and community-building – are clear enough. We need to consent and persist…."

Summery / Comments:Episode News:New Jersey to Drop Basic Skills Test For TeachersGrant High School Teacher (Portland, OR) threatens kids who don't show up to support teachers on the picket line.⠀Parents, Teachers and Lawmakers speak their piece on parental rights in committee meetingsEpisode Topic:In today's episode of Parents' Rights in Education, we're talking about the importance of parental involvement in education. We're also discussing a troubling trend of states lowering the basic skills requirements for teachers.Our host, Suzanne, emphasizes that restoring local control to school boards is the key to fixing the problems facing public education. She believes that states should not be passing blanket parental rights laws, as these laws are often ineffective. Instead, we need to focus on holding our local representatives accountable for protecting our rights.Suzanne also highlights the fact that many states are now removing basic reading, writing, and math skill requirements for student graduation and teachers. This is a dangerous trend that could have a negative impact on the quality of education that our children receive.We need to stand up for our rights as parents and demand that our children receive the best possible education. We can do this by getting involved in our local school districts and supporting candidates who share our values.Episode Guest:Suzanne talks with Sue Smith, a retired school teacher about her experience in the classroom and about current happenings in the classroom.Support the showDONATE TODAY!www.ParentsRightsInEducation.com

For the first time, technical education institutions that have embraced smart manufacturing are ahead of their local employers. This is great news for the workforce, as graduates from these programs can help lead their companies into the future.Industry certifications should be built into every technical education program: When certifications are built and backed by employers, students earning them have verified proof of skills.
