Not Every Work Achievement Has a Metric Tied to It, and That’s Okay

Anytime you can amplify a work achievement with a number on your résumé, you should, however, some professional wins do not have clear metrics to illustrate them.

No problem.

Your résumé is YOUR marketing document 100% of the time.

Knowing that, you need to showcase and talk about whatever small or large achievements you had that made the workplace better in some way…as determined by YOU.

For example, did you:

- Document or improve a process?
- Train or mentor someone?
- Step up during the Covid uncertainty?
- Save money somehow?
- Interview and recommend vendors for projects?

You get the idea.

Take a step back and honestly assess how you helped and then don’t be afraid to talk about it.

ALL wins need to be on your résumé to improve your chances of getting interviews.
