Example of Employment Data in the Curriculum Vitae

When we talk about looking for a job or advancing in our career, he Curriculum vitae (CV) is one of the most crucial tools. But it's not just about listing company names and dates; It's much more than that. Here I'll show you how to stand out on your resume by effectively using job data. A good resume represents you highlighting your skills and achievements beyond the job titles you've had. For example, I increased the company's sales by 20%.

Imagine that you are a recruiter with two resumes in front: Both candidates have the same title and have worked in similar companies. However, one of them includes specific data such as "I increased team productivity by 20%" or "I led a project that resulted in a 15% cost savings." Naturally, your attention will lean towards this last.

When you add concrete data to your resume, you offer something measurable and verifiable and give the employer data-driven reasons to hire you.

What is Employment Data in the Context of a Resume?

Before delving into the techniques and strategies to enrich your CV, we must first understand what exactly employment data is. Employment data is like the foundation of your resume. They not only describe where you have worked, but add a quantitative and qualitative dimension to your profile. In other words, these data validate your skills and competencies, showing what you have achieved in concrete terms.

You can think of job data as the answers to several questions:

• Where have you worked? It is the most basic information, such as company names, positions and dates.

• What responsibilities did you have? This details the tasks you performed, offering a more complete picture of your role.

• What achievements did you obtain? This is where quantification comes in, such as growth percentages or completed projects.

Types of Employment Data

We will classify the job information to include in your resume into two:

• Quantitative data: Such as percentage increases, monetary amounts and sizes of led teams.

• Qualitative data: Soft skills, examples of leadership and problem solving.

Quantitative Data in the Curriculum

It's easy to fall into the trap of writing a resume that's too generic. But if you want to stand out, quantitative data is your best ally. It is not the same as saying "I contributed to the sales of the team" that "I increased sales by 30% during the first quarter". The second statement not only shows that you did meaningful work, but it also quantifies it, making your statement more credible and powerful.

Some examples of how you can incorporate quantitative data are:

• In sales roles: "I consistently exceeded monthly quotas by 15%."

• In marketing work: "I improved click-through rate by 20% with innovative content strategies."

• In management positions: "I reduced team downtime by 25% by implementing new work methodologies."

Remember, the numbers on your resume must be accurate and verifiable.
