How to Build a Sales Resume that Get’s Noticed.
When job hunting, your #1 goal is to create a resume that will be short-listed by HR or recruiters. How do you accomplish this? One word: metrics.
Metrics show that you can measure your success and that you not only set goals but you also achieve them. In scientific instrumentation, those metrics are sales accomplishments & scientific accolades.
These are the achievements we suggest highlighting in your resume.
* When you met sale targets or rose above them, remember to note the percentage you over-achieved.
* Have your key results been published? Where & when?
* Did you rank well among your peers in sales or customer satisfaction? Were you a top producer? Quantify your ranking.
* Did you receive glowing customer reviews or repeat business? Quote these accomplishments.
* Have you spoken at conferences, led collaborations or managed projects?
* List awards you have won or accolades you have received.
Getting to the top of the resume pile isn’t easy, but when you make the hiring manager’s job simpler by illustrating your qualifications with verifiable data, you stand out.
Best of luck!
