- Knowledge Domain: CASVE Cycle: Generic information processing skills that individuals use to solve important problems and make decisions The CASVE cycle is one model Communication Analysis Synthesis Valuing execution Other models exist How do I usually make important decisions? What’s helpful when making a decision Executive Processing: -Self-talk– a conversation people have with themselves about their performance; self-talk can be positive or negative -self-awareness- awareness of themselves as they solve problems and make decisions monitoring and control– ability to monitor where they are in the problem solving process and control the amount of attention and information needed for problem solving Influence of negative self-talk on: – decision-making skills – occupational knowledge – self-knowledge • Persons can reframe negative self-talk into positive self-talk
- Tell your story. Think about how you’ve done this in the past and how you can do this for the future. Think about how your story may vary depending on the career industry/audience you’re speaking to. Bottom line: Know your reader.
- If we start our process with trying to “fit” everything on 1-2 pages, we often leave out or forget to include important information. Instead of starting the process with limiting ourselves, create your master resume first. This is your chance to tell the whole story, include all the things you did and have accomplished. This is a working document that will help you to better identify the most relevant experiences and important accomplishment related to each position.
- In resume writing we call them CAR or SAR statements. I’ve also seen the acronym PARI. Essentially, you’re sharing a challenge/situation/problem, the action you took to address it, and what the result was. Ideally you want to frame the result by sharing how it positively impacted your employer or client. These are the kinds of statements that make impact and tell a story but also give the reader context. Remember to keep it short; mercilessly edit it down to the least common denominator. In resume writing it’s also a wise practice to lead with the result/impact to the client or employer because this is usually quantifiable. Here is a quick example of what I mean by a S.A.R. statement: Situation/Challenge/Problem: Company operated at a loss of $960,000 in 2014. Action: Personally vetted by CEO for company turnaround. Cut costs by 30%, revamped hiring practices to reduce turnover, overhauled budget and spending practices. Result/Impact: Delivered $650,000 profit in 2015. Now you can take the content from the answers to these three questions and put together a great bullet point for your resume. Fill in each with your own experiences and expertise.
- Here’s where the master resume helps-BIG time. Have a master resume makes it all the easier to customize. From your master cut & paste to create the skeleton of your customized resume- then look at the job description and tailor details to fit the position you’re applying to. First don’t worry about space. Create your customized resume with the information you think is important- and then edit vigorously! Cut out the least relevant items/words/etc. Job Description (what’s relevant) Narrating your story (mission match)
- What do you see here? People in the US read top-down, left to right. Making the most important part of the resume what? (Answer: Top left) Think of your resume as a newspaper. If you haven’t pulled your reader in by the content above the fold- you’ve lost them. So the most relevant, critical content should be above the fold.
- Create a master resume and then go back and edit it until you have a leaner draft. Then go back and cut even more out. When you write your resume ask yourself, “Is this critical to my story or what I’m trying to convey to the employer?” If it isn’t, cut it out. Save the discarded content in a master file so you have it if you decide later you really do need it. However, consider yourself a ruthless editor, evaluate every word, every sentence for how you can make it shorter and more concise—then slash and trash what you don’t need. The final product should be descriptive, yet succinct You know the people who go through and only read the headlines of articles and newspapers or scroll through articles and only read the bolded bullet points to get the general gist of what it’s saying? This reason is exactly why newspapers and news articles start with a great headline, give the most critical facts/details first, and then gradually fill in the not-so-critical details further down in the story. They know you want the important information first and don’t want to wait for it. Do the same in your resume. Start with your branding statement and make it answer the decision maker’s questions: “Why should I care?” or “What’s in it for me?” When time is of the essence, answering these questions first gives readers exactly what they need to know up front; then they can choose to keep on reading for any details. The strategy of using a profile summary or career summary is now history. Instead, it should include a personal-brand snapshot. Give the reader newsworthy information in short, effective statements so they can get the facts and move on.
- It’s totally fine to have more than one career goal, but your resume will change based on the industry or organization to which you’re applying.
