Stop being humble in your job search. It’s time to brag a bit!

Humility is a tremendous quality, but when you’re engaged in a job search, I need you to brag a bit!

“But Ron, I don’t work in sales and I don’t have any measurable accomplishments to showcase.”

WRONG!

If you earn a paycheck, by definition you are generating or saving your employer more money than they are paying you.

You are an asset and you bring value to your employer.

It’s time to start documenting your wins AKA anytime that you:

∙ Save $$ for your employer
∙ Win back time for your employer

Here are some ways that non-sales professionals make positive contributions:

∙ Mitigating risk
∙ Eliminating waste
∙ Capturing efficiencies
∙ Streamlining processes
∙ Boosting customer retention
∙ Reducing employee turnover
∙ Lowering or eliminating costs
∙ Implementing technology upgrades
∙ Identifying tax credits or deductions
∙ Re-negotiating an existing contract to improve terms
∙ Training, mentoring, and developing staff into promotions

Now, try to take these a step further by quantifying them.

Examples:

∙ Improved client retention 28% by implementing an enhanced onboarding process
∙ Reduced lead time on domestic orders from 2-3 weeks to 6 days on average
∙ Saved $45K in third-party staffing fees by developing and promoting three junior employees
