Gathering Your 2Q Details

"Which to choose?" says the hiring manager to his team member helping to review resumes.

"This one says they have 10 years of project management experience," claims the team member.

"Yes, but what type of projects?" asks the hiring manager.

"Ya, light on details. Okay, how about this one? 7 years of project experience, but she lists the projects with some details. Pretty cool, actually. Look at this project," showing the resume to the manager.

"Okay, sold, let's go with her. At least we have an idea of what she did."

You just lost that opportunity.

Not because you didn't do the work, but because you did not include details to better your chances, and thus the hiring manager doesn't know if reality matches what you wrote down.

"Managed data center operations."

"Oversaw server infrastructure."

"Provided technical leadership."

These don't impress anyone. They don't prove you can handle the scale. They just tell the hiring manager you showed up.

Enter 2Q.

Quantifying and Qualifying details are what separate a forgettable resume from a must-interview resume.

But you can't add 2Q details if you don't have them. And trying to remember them in an interview or when upgrading your resume is not the best time to start thinking about them.
