Can you give an example of outcomes and impact described in a resume that would make a recruiter instantly think, "I want YOU!" about a candidate? I've started focusing more on outcomes when applying for jobs, but I'm not getting the results I expected. I'm starting to think that I'm not describing them the right way, even though they sound good on paper and relevant to the job description.

Lookup the XYZ narrative formula Google recommends.

Outcomes stand out when they’re specific and tied to a real problem. Think “reduced incidents by 30% by rebuilding X” or “cut delivery time from weeks to days,” not just what you owned, but what changed because of you.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
