Hope these newsletters have been leveling up your career!
I’m back with something I wholeheartedly believe in - the immense potential that people from minimum wage jobs carry with them.
Now, before talking about how to go from a minimum wage job to your “dream job”, let us help you get there here.
Let’s begin.
As someone who’s seen the ins and outs of hiring, I witnessed firsthand how individuals from the minimum wage jobs brought unique value to the table.
But, I also saw them struggle with expressing that value in 'corporate speak' when they were ready to make the transition.
If that’s you, this is for you. Let’s break this down, shall we?
Instead of saying: Worked on processes.
Say: Developed and implemented streamlined processes for inventory management, resulting in a 20% reduction in excess stock and a 15% increase in on-time deliveries."
Instead of saying: Helped customers
Say: Onboarded and delivered exceptional client service to 200 customers per shift during peak times.
Do you see how it sounds more “corporate” but also shwocases the impact and achievements you’ve made in the role(s)?
Let’s go into one more example: Suppose you’re a waiter….what are some ways to highlight your experiences with achievements rather than just responsibilities?
Turning your experiences into a corporate resume isn't about embellishing what you did; It's about framing your skills in a way that clearly shows their relevance and value.
And if you need help with doing this, use ResumAI by Wonsulting.
I hope this provides you with a fresh perspective on your job hunting journey. Your experiences are valuable - make sure you're communicating that effectively!
See you next week,
Jonathan Javier
