Supervisor at BUQCAT Bulawayo office: August 2015 – to date

Main Duties, Responsibilities & Achievements

• Put these duties or responsibilities in order of importance. Recruiters are very busy and spend just about 10 seconds on a CV to decide whether it’s important for them to read it further and short list you. It is therefore prudent that you put the most important aspects of your job first.

• REMEMBER You do not always have to list everything in your contract (5 -7 bullets of both what you did and achieved is enough) so I want you to look at these job descriptions and ask yourself what did I do in my most pertinent job that my future employer may be interested in or the job advertisement you are responding to. This is what I want you to add

• Handling customer queries and complaints,

• liaising with companies,

• handling agents and other service providers,

• check on revenue collection and expenditure for the station,

• Check on compliance to standard operating procedures by staff and all service providers.

• Focus on details of your achievements as instructed below (Evidence is loud)

• When considering new job openings, at senior level I want you think if the tasks enlisted above present you as a responsible person who can head and lead a senior post. If not do a deep dive exercise explained below

• You have been with this organization for some time now. I want you to do a deep dive and come up with some of your highlighted successes which prove you are good at what you do and that you would be an excellent pick for the next employer. Use the guided questions below

Think about these questions and answer them as best to your knowledge as possible

• Can you prove you are an achiever by indicating things you have done there so far that have made a significant difference to the organization since joining it?

• What were your achievements and can you quantify them? (achievements are benefits the company enjoyed because you worked there) What do they remember you for?

• Did you introduce, or modify anything that contributed positively to the organization

• In what unique ways did you help them make or save money?

A few notes to guide you into detailing your cv the way I want it

In marketing quantification adds weight and impact to the Achievements section of CV. The idea is provide evidence of your ability by quantifying the work that you handled and the degree to which you made a difference. The best achievements say what you did and how it changed an existing situation for the better, and by what amount.

This helps the employer to envisage what you might be able to do for their organisation, if you are appointed. Achievements are powerful and do more to sell you than perhaps any other part of your CV. For example, an achievement might read as follows:

• Undertook comprehensive overhaul of corporate credit policy to successfully reduce bad debt rate from 2.5% to 1.2% during the last 6 months.

• Managed accounts receivable and through robust approach to customer relations, reduced credit period from 90 to 60 days.
