advice when filling out the applications

Sandi,

I always suggest that our clients paraphrase these accomplishments when writing them in the online forms rather than just lifting them straight from the resume. This shows both that you made a concerted efforts to deliver a professional application to them and that you have the communications skills and vocabulary to effectively paraphrase your accomplishments.

In addition, however, I would also suggest trying to think of any other accomplishments in each position that did not make it onto your resume due to space constraints. This is a great place to include these as well.

Finally, be sure to the extent possible to include quantifiable accomplishments (like % or actual increases in revenue, customers, etc.).

Hope this helps,
Shawn

thanks a lot, that was very helpful!
