In today's job market, it's not enough to simply list

your work history and job responsibilities.


A performance-based resume allows you to do just


that.

Remember, the world is changing, and so


should your resume. Don't get left behind - start
crafting your performance-based resume today!
Learn how to
1. Review your current resume

Take a close look at your resume and identify any


task-oriented statements.

These statements simply list your responsibilities


without showing any results.

For example, instead of saying "managed a team of


five," say "increased team productivity by 25%
through effective management."

2. Remove task-oriented statements:


Once you've identified the task-oriented statements,


remove them from your resume.

These statements don't showcase your skills and


achievements, which are essential in a performance-
oriented resume.

3. Replace with results-oriented statements:


Replace the task-oriented statements with results-


oriented statements that showcase your
achievements.

Use numbers and data to quantify your impact.


For example, instead of "managed financial records,"


use "analyzed financial data, resulting in 15% cost
savings."

4. Revise your objective statement:

Instead of writing an objective statement that focuses


on what you want, write a summary statement that
highlights your achievements.

For example,"Experienced finance professional with a


history of improving cash flow and reducing
expenses."
