Transform your mortgage résumé!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With more than 60 lenders going bankrupt and 25,000+ workers laid off in the mortgage industry, it is a good time to freshen up your résumé if you are in this industry. Here are some crucial points to remember when updating your résumé.
Be sure you provide increases with numbers and percentages on your résumé in regard to your performance. Did you increase your market share? How were you ranked? How much did you originate? These things matter to employers if you are moving around within the mortgage industry and show your success if you are changing to a new sales occupation.
In addition to providing numbers on your résumé it is important to show how you were able to accomplish these numbers and successes. If you have a résumé with all numbers and no explanation, it becomes more difficult for the prospective employer to understand how your skills can transfer into their organization. Be sure to provide the how behind the numbers. You will see the interest in your résumé peak as you provide information that will separate you from the others.
