                                        your career here




  Reformat with 3-5 brief bullet
  points summarizing your most
significant accomplishments here
Remember…your resume gets a 20 second glance
the first time a hiring manager views it, so quickly
               answer the question…

     How specifically did
      you do your job?
SARs and PARs
Create accomplishment statements
 with…
SARs (Situation-Action-Result)
PARs (Problem-Action-Result)

 SITUATION
     or      ACTION      RESULT
 PROBLEM
SARs and PARs
SARs and PARs statements emphasize
 past achievements and successes by
 using quantifiable and measurable
 information.
SARs and PARs
A PARs/SARs statement is a specific example of
  success doing a key element/duty of your job
  and covers the most important aspects of your
  job.
The specific results of your actions should be
 immediately clear to the reader.
SARs and PARs
Each PAR or SAR should answer the
 question . . . .
"how did you do the work differently or
 better?"
They highlight the value, benefits and
 contributions that you bring to the
 organization
SARs and PARs
    DEMO
SARs and PARs
Form Groups of Two
Using the SARS/PARS sheet identify the
  most recent employment situation you had
Identify three accomplishments that you
  were directly responsible for
Allow your partner to interview you about
  your accomplishments

                             Move your standard list of job
                              titles and responsibilities
                               below the summary and
                                   accomplishments
• The content of your cover
  letter is in the job posting
• Select three job “criteria”
  and list how you meet that
  criteria
• Be specific with job titles
  and company names
Select three
criteria from the
   job posting
Sample Cover Letter Using Job Post Criteria
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I noticed a recent job posting on your website that describes a
   position with qualifications that I have attained in my 10 years
   in the banking industry.
You listed these requirements:
• Handle bank reconciliations – I managed weekly bank
  reconciliations at TD bank in my role as assistant bank
  manager.
• Post journal entries – I posted dozens of journal entries daily
  in my position at P&C bank. I received several
  commendations for accuracy.
• Process payroll with ADP – I processed payroll for 18
  employees with Quickbooks which is substantially similar to
  ADP
I would like to speak with you about how I can add value to your
   organization.
I have enclosed my resume and look forward to speaking with
   you.
Kind regards,
Me
DO
• Be Direct -use
  names if
  possible
• Be detailed –
  position,
  qualifications
  (use job post)
• Be worthy –
  what value
  can you
  bring?
DON’T
• Be generic –
  no spray and
  pray
• Be careless –
  nobody will
  hire a sloppy
  person
• Be cocky –
  bragging is a
  turn off
