Resumes are not about you, they're about what you can do for your next employer. If you write them with that context in mind then your resume will get a better response
Agree with Job Coach 1 here. A well-written resume should be tailored to the job you're applying for, and the job descriptions in that job application will help guide how you should be framing your resume. If you're applying to a job, no matter which industry, your resume should reflect a story you tell about moving deliberately in your career towards the role you're now applying for.
Look up resume/interview tips via Amazon. NOT encouraging you to apply, but their data driven method can help you stay focused.
Rising Star
Frame around the results your efforts delivered for your employer. How did your efforts...
-cut costs
-generate revenue
-make things faster/smoother
-eliminate risk
-organize chaos
-make coworkers or customers happy
-promote the brand
Etc.
I agree with the prior comments. I don't ever recall being asked to compare my current job description with my current resume nor have I ever interviewed anyone with a copy of the current job description. It's a bonus to your job skill sets to be asked to do tasks outside of your job description.
Thanks everyone I'm not currently looking but I am trying to stay prepared I have been with this employer for many years and have gone through quite a few different positions/promotions from custodial through college and am in my first non union position. So I've never really had to do the whole resume thing just moved up internally.
