Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
If you’ve been reading this Career Corner for a while, you’ve likely seen me advocate for results-filled job seeking tools. But what if you don’t have easy access to concrete data from past roles (like student test scores, money raised, etc.)? Instead, share general numbers to help the reader understand the scope of your work:
- How many people did your work serve? This can be the # of students you taught, # of schools a school district central office professional supports, # of teachers an instructional leader coaches, # of average attendees at the professional development events you hosted, # of students in a district where a fundraiser raises money, etc.
- What were your goals? A recruiter has a certain number of open roles, a fundraiser has fundraising goals, operations leaders have goals related to compliance and managing specific processes, college counselors have student college acceptance goals, etc.
- How many people did you work with? This can be # of people you supervised, # of teachers on the grade level team you chaired, # of clients in your portfolio, # of vendors you managed, # of board members you worked with, # of teams you partnered with, etc.
When you explicitly share the scope of your work on job seeking tools, you are helping a hiring manager understand the breadth and depth of your previous experience. You are also filling in knowledge gaps they might have about your previous employers, and making a case for why you are well equipped to take on a new challenge. Combine scope with achievements and you’re truly in business.
