Good Resume
Great advice from Dr. Gary North:

How to Revise Your Résumé
Gary North - April 03, 2014

The direct response marketer follows this rule: "Lead with the benefits. Follow with the proof."

The direct response marketer understands that buyers are interested in results. They are not interested in inputs. Direct response marketers understand this principle: "Don't tell me about your grass seed. Tell me about my lawn."

Let's transfer these two principles to the writing of your résumé. Does it conform to these two marketing principles?

The standard résumé is almost useless, yet it is universal. It is why most businessmen who are looking to hire somebody do not make the decision by means of a résumé that has been sent to the personnel department. This is why most résumés are thrown away.

A résumé tells the chronology of a person's employment history. The person writing the résumé believes that merely listing his employment history is going to impress somebody in the personnel department. The person in the personnel department is a low-level employee who is not regarded as being particularly competent. So, his job is to screen through piles of résumés to find something that might conceivably be of use to somebody in a higher-level position, who will then make a decision about whether or not to offer the person a job.

The typical résumé is all inputs, no output.

What the businessman wants to know is the value of the output. He can then make judgments regarding the possible future benefit to the company that will result from hiring this individual. What he wants is evidence that previous employers have gained specific benefits by hiring this person. The businessman doesn't want to know about the inputs, especially the time that the person has spent on the job. What the businessman wants to know is something about the output of the person on the previous jobs.

Does your résumé stress inputs or output?

If the answer is that it stresses inputs, it is time to begin rewriting your résumé. It is time to begin preparing to rewrite your resume. You have to begin collecting verifiable, measurable information on the results of your work. Listing the inputs is insufficient. You have to be able to list the output.

The person who expects to advance his career by moving to another employer must begin keeping detailed records on the output of his work. It is easy to track inputs. Somebody works so many hours on a project. So what? What was the project? What was the problem facing the business? What transformation or solution can be attributed to what you did on the project? Can you verify this? Are there metrics involved that you can use to prove your point? Lead with the benefits. Follow with the proof.

The reason why most résumés fail to attract any interest is because they are inputs-based, not output-based.

Let's consider how I would try to get a job as a teacher. I can point to my work on the Ron Paul Curriculum. Would an employer want to know how many hours I spent preparing lessons, or would he want to know how many lessons I produced? In the case of the Ron Paul Curriculum, there is a money-back guarantee for each course. Would the employer want to know how many refunds were made in relationship to the number of students who enrolled in the courses?

In the case of online courses, I have this advantage: I can provide samples of the lessons. They are screencast videos. It is a lot easier for an employer to look at the output when the output is in the form of a public document or product. The employer does not really care how many hours I spent per lesson. What he wants to know is this: how good are the lessons? Is what I did in the lessons comparable to something that he wants me to do in the classroom?

Most people do not have output samples. They are part of a team, and it is difficult to assess an individual's contribution to a team. This is why, when putting together your résumé, you must offer evidence of what your contribution was. The better that you can indicate that the success of the operation was based on your input, the more believable will be your claims regarding the output.

We're back to the problem of the grass seed and the lawn. The employer wants to see the lawn. He doesn't want to hear about the grass seed or your contribution to it. This is why it is important that you keep evidence of a before-and-after nature. He wants to know what the situation was before you started adding your inputs, so that he can evaluate the success of the output.

Can you do this with your career? If not, it is time to start working on identifying metrics that will be believable to a future employer. If you cannot do this, you will find it difficult to make a transition. You will not have evidence that you are the person who ought to be hired.
