Results in Resumes

Hi,

This is something very common while drafting a resume.

I believe there is always a way to quantify your results and showcase your impact on the project.

A couple of suggestions:

Bullet #2: what was the size (in $) of the project in terms of investment and growth opportunities?

Bullet #3: how many students? In how much time?

Again, these are only suggestions. The key message is that you could always add more numbers and impact on your CV by looking at your tasks from a different perspective than its description.

Don't hesitate to reach out to me to further discuss how to draft a perfect resume for consulting interviews.

Hey,

Just go a step further to explain the outcome (or projected/expected outcome) of your work. What happened as a result of the work you did? How did it improve the life of your client, your colleagues? Did it save money, generate more money, save a lot of time etc? Hope you get the point...doesnt always have been to quantifiabe. Intangible results are okay too.

That assessment report you created, did that help the client make any decisions? Did they launch a new strategy at the back of it? Or that dashboard you created for the hotel clients was this a first of its kind or was it going to help save a lot of time going forward. The students (you can mention how many) you trained on soft skills, how did it help them? Was this first of its kind training opportunity for them or did it boost their confidence...

Hi,

1) Whom did you assess? What were the benefits of using the report? Initiatives developed as a result? Impact of these initiatives?

2) Sounds like Developing an expansion strategy of the hotel chain with $xxM capex spending

3) How many students? How did you select them? What was offered for them as a result of this program?

Hi there,

I recommend you take an initial stab at this and then get it iterated over.

For example, for #1 I would say "Researched and analyzed xxx to create assessment on xxx; presented to c-suite at xxx client, resulting in xxx"

Hello there!

Though it's important to quantify your achievements, quality may also be valuable.
And I like you using action verbs.

My advice is to think of the purpose, for example:
Trained a group of students (how many?) on soft skills in order to ... .

If you have any further questions or need a professional look at it, feel free to send it to me and we can discuss it.

Hi,

First of all, result is not always have to be quantitative.

As for your points, below are some questions that might be helpful:

1. What is your role in developing the report, what analysis you do? What are the result after you shared the report? Any decision made based on the report?
2. What you actually do in the assisting the assessment? e.g Geo tagging and socio economic analysis, etc
3. What are the training? How many students? What is your method?

Hello!

This is a common painpoint, we all struggle with it. Don´t worry :)

To your points, I would suggest to include points 2 and 3 -the 1st one seems a bit fluffy-.

You can try to quantify in # of stakeholders, time saved, etc.

The idea behind quantifying is to demonstrate the impact your actions had. If there aren't specific quantifiable measures of this, then you can make inferences instead.

For example

1- Developed an assessment report as a part of a consulting project, the assessment report was shared with the top-level management of the client, is this a result?

Can you say: Developed report to inform $30M go/no-go decision which received sign-off by F500 client leading to $20M acquisition.

Basically follow through to what the end result of your work was
