Writing Your Resume; Use the “So What?” Method. Credit to PhotoRack.net Your resume has to tell potential employers what you can do for them.
Yet people still fall into the trap of writing sentences that describe their job duties instead of their skills. A simple way to avoid this is to use the “so what” method of writing a resume. The “so what” method makes you think about each statement and why it is important to an employer. For example, this is a phrase taken from a resume sent to me for an evaluation: “Provided production workers with needed inventory information”. USAJOBS - The Federal Government’s Official Jobs Site.
