Your Resume: Show the employer the benefit of hiring you.

How can you show the employer the benefit of hiring you in your resume?

By including benefit statements in each line of your resume.

Change your focus from job duties to skills. So instead of writing
"Responsible for all filing",
which is a job duty, it might read something like:
"Simplified document and report retrieval by prompt and accurate filing"

From this it is understood that one of your duties must be filing, but in addition it tells us you did it well and by doing so created a benefit to your company.

The benefit of course is that you simplified document and report retrieval.

Who should use this type of resume?

Answer: Everyone.

No matter what format you use for your resume, turning duties into benefits is a positive idea that reaps great benefits for you, the job seeker!
