Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16651&preview=true) Hiring managers care about what you’ve achieved, not just what you were responsible for. On this episode of Find Your Dream Job, recruiter and HR professional Ashlie Journet explains why it’s important to track your wins and talk about your impact. Many people overlook their own wins, so their resumes don’t reflect the results they’ve delivered. Ashlie breaks down what employers look for, like evidence you saved time, cut costs, worked across teams, and solved problems. She suggests keeping a “brag book” to record achievements, feedback, and metrics so you’re ready to confidently show up in your applications and interviews. Tailor each resume, highlight your strongest wins up top, and ask hiring managers about their challenges so you can show how your results meet their needs. Listen now to learn how to share your wins and stand out. About Our Guest: Ashlie Journet is a recruiter and HR professional and runs The Candidate Advocate Resume Writing Services.  Resources in This Episode: Connect with Ashlie on LinkedIn.
