Archived Need some advice on resume building. Workbench/myperformance data?

My main issue with trying to build up my resume is that I want everything to be quantifiable. I don't want to just list what my job duties were, I want to be able to put numbers to them so someone can quickly look through it and see what kind of value I can add to their company.

For example, I had a PMR of about $400 last year, and that's great because rather than some vague description, it allows potential employers to see a detailed success I had working for Target.

Is there anywhere I can get data like this? Does Workbench/myperformance provide metrics like that, or do I just have to keep track of stuff like that myself?

Careful. You could get in trouble for putting that exact data on your resume. But, you could check the other guy site.

I don't understand how... can you explain? Do you mean, trouble from potential employers that I would be applying to? Or would Target somehow find out what I did?

Spot has their ways finding out stuff. The other guy site was almost closed down by spot for having the ap policy published.

I knew a guy who knew a guy that did that. He dissapeared days later without a trace but there was a bullseye crudely spraypainted on his garage door. Spot sees all.

I think as long as you keep it generic and don't use the exact target terminology, you're good.

I mean, as some who screens resumes for hotel managers it's not uncommon to see "raised inn from a 1.5 million a year property to a 3 million dollar property" or "successfully raised RevPAR by $12."

Use general figures.. Don't go into too much detail on the resume, but do give a bullet or two of figures--you can into detail in the interview. But as I said, use more general "industry" terms instead of jus target lingo.

I would NOT put that information on Linkedin!!!

It all depends on what the company that you are sending your resume. Most professional companies will only want to see other professional companies and will not give a crap about your retail experience. All they want to know is if you had any gaps in employment.

Now if its another retail company/hotel/restaurant. You want to list your position(s) and very generic descriptions on your duties. ex. Provide customer service. Cashier functions/Provide Item Return/Exchange services /Food Service Experienced/Knowledgeable in retail company policies and procedures. Then any recognitions. Team Trainer, GSA, TL, and such. Don't use Target terminology.

If you are wanting to very descriptive on your duties, then you want to utilize a CV.
