When I review resumes, I would say probably 95 percent of the time individuals list every single job duty. What they fail to do is pull out job duties that pertain to the job for which they are applying, and they fail to show what they accomplished in that job duty. Accomplishments are what set you apart from the competition.
If a hiring manager wants an administrative assistant who has experience with “monitoring and ordering office supplies” and one candidate includes a bulleted point from her last job “Responsible for monitoring and ordering supplies” and the second candidate states “Slashed office expenses $1,000 by researching vendors and negotiating prices” which candidate do you think the hiring manager would be more interested in interviewing? Accomplishments are what set you apart from the competition.
