Recruiter Tip: Add a 'Wins' Section to Your Resume
Recruiters don’t just want to see what you’ve done, they want to know what you’ve achieved. That’s why we recommend adding a clear “Key Wins” section near the top of your resume.
Here’s how to make it stand out:
Add 3-5 bullet points with real impact (cost savings, time reductions, client growth, etc.)
Use action verbs and metrics: “Reduced port turnaround time by 18%” > “Handled logistics”
Tailor the wins to the role you're applying for
Pro Tip: This section grabs attention fast and shows you’re a results-driven professional.
Career Moves: How to Get Chosen for Internal Promotions
Promotions don’t always go to the most experienced - they go to the most visible.
Want to get noticed?
Offer ideas in team meetings - even small ones
Ask your manager what success looks like in the next 6 months - and align yourself with it
Keep a “career brag list” and share it during check-ins and reviews
Why it works: Leaders want problem-solvers. When you speak up and take initiative, you position yourself as one - even before the title change.
Career Hack: The “Impact File” Habit
If you only update your resume when you're job hunting, you're missing out. High-performers track their wins as they happen - and that’s where the Impact File comes in.
What it is:
A running doc or folder where you save quick notes, screenshots, KPIs, client feedback, or performance highlights from your current role.
Why it works:
Makes resume updates 10x easier
Helps prep for appraisals and interviews
Gives you hard data to prove your value at a moment’s notice
Power tip: Sort your entries by themes (cost savings, client wins, efficiency gains, etc.) to easily tailor them later.
