A head recruiter at Amazon says the biggest mistake people make on their résumés comes down to their job title

Avoid this mistake.
Celeste Joy Diaz, the recruiting manager for university programs at Amazon, said her team doesn't like to talk about "red flags."
But there is one big thing that can irk recruiters like Diaz during the application process: namedropping your place of employment, without explaining what you did there.
"Titles are great, but we want to understand what was the project you owned, what was the scope of a project, and what did you accomplish," Diaz told Business Insider.
Simply stating in your résumé that you worked at Google, The New York Times, or some other name-brand company is impressive, but it doesn't really communicate what you did with that opportunity.
That doesn't just apply to recruiters at Amazon, either. Career experts across the board have named lack of explanation as one of the biggest mistakes that applicants make in their résumés.
"Lack of measurements and results in the file is my biggest résumé pet peeve," executive résumé writer and career strategistAdrienne Tom previously told Business Insider. "Without any measurements of success, the file is lacking proof of skill."

Be specific, and include plenty of data.
So, expand upon what you did in that job that brought value - whether that's an amount of revenue you produced, projects you led, or how you excelled in your monthly goals. Including the numbers that back up your success is key, Tina Nicolai, executive career coach and founder of Résumé Writers' Ink, previously told Business Insider.
Be as specific as possible. Write, "Helped grow revenue by 500% to $1 million in 12 month period by doing X" instead of "Helped grow revenue," Nicolai said.
"Employers need numbers to be able to fully evaluate the scope of your bandwidth," Nicolai said. "No position is exempt from measuring results. And metrics help employers determine if a person is capable of leading a team, managing clients, or growing the business."
This extends to job interviews as well, Diaz said. She recommended discussing your previous roles with other people, so you can practice giving concrete examples of your achievements and explaining what your job meant beyond the title and the company.
"People might not take the time to think about the impact of the work they've done," Diaz said. "I want to understand scope of impact more than just job titles."
i wonder now how many people are gonna fill Thier resumes with lies that "they improve operations by 1,000% in Q4"
Etc...
When in actuality all they did was come to work on time and did the Same ish they did In Q3.

- Your résumé is a recruiter's first impression of you during the job search.
- Celeste Joy Diaz, a recruiting manager at Amazon, said not explaining your job accomplishments clearly is one key way to alienate recruiters from the outset.
- Instead, use hard numbers to demonstrate how you succeeded in previous roles.

Who wouldn't explain their job title in an interview? If anything, the interviewer always asks to explain what you did at your job anyway

I was in line at the grocery store and found a $20 bill on the floor. I picked it up and asked the lady in front of me if it is hers. She said "oh thank you!". I noticed none of her clothes have pockets, and she was carrying a purse. So I do not see how it could have fell out and do not think the $20 was her's. Oh well

Fate throws $20 bill in your lap and you give it away. Of course she’s going to say it was hers. Who would turn down free money (besides you).

I just automatically assumed there's a good chance it belongs to the person in front of me. I didn't stop to do my detective work until afterwards. There are still people in this world who believe in karma and return things that do not belong to them. $20 will not make or break me. The reverse happened to me for $2 when I was broke as a joke. *shrugs*

Reminds me when i dropped like $10-20 bill at Wendy's and I was ready to pay. I put the change in my pocket but. I saw some lady go onto the floor and pick something up. I rechecked my pockets and didn't have the $10-$20 dollar in my pocket. The lady knowingly saw that i dropped the money and swiped it off the floor.
I went over to her and Told her can I have the money you swiped from the floor that was mines. She's says "finders, keepers" I was like lady you saw me drop the money you didn't find ish, I pointed to the surveillance camera and said "would you like dispute this with authorities" she looked at me and gave back my money.
Smh.
