Key Considerations

  • LinkedIn Profile: If you don't have one, consider creating a professional LinkedIn profile. It's a great way for recruiters to learn more about you and your experience.
  • Tailor for Each Application: While this resume is strong, always review the job description for each position you apply to. Tweak your summary and bullet points slightly to emphasize the skills and experiences most relevant to that specific role.
  • Quantify More (if possible): You did a fantastic job with the 73.8% reduction! Think if there are any other numbers you can add. For instance, 'managed X number of SKUs,' 'oversaw inventory valued at $Y,' 'trained Z number of new hires,' or 'processed an average of A orders daily.' Even rough estimates can be powerful.
  • References: You typically don't include 'References available upon request' anymore. Employers assume this.
