So, I have now stepped out of my comfort zone and have started the transition. What I am struggling with at the moment is how to translate my skills and experiences onto a paper. Yes, it is that resume and cv that is just starting at me on the other monitor. The blinking cursor taunting me as I ponder what to write.
What makes this difficult for me is my career has largely been defined in a more qualitative way and the paper is screaming for numbers; sales up 20%, cost savings of 15%, recruited 8 new employees, operational efficiency maximized by 12% and so on. As I work in the world of softer issues my skills have much more to do with culture, comfort, and adaptability than hard numbers favored by today’s job search algorithms.
I feel I bring much more to the table than just numbers. Now, how can I get that on paper?
