For example, Fran had been a Directory Operator but in most people's minds that doesn't sound like she's at the level of a Corporate Customer Representative making $33,000 that's because most people don't view directory operators as providing true customer service. Most people say that Directory Operator sounds like someone making only $20,000. However, by using the 12 Questions in my Proven Resumes Series, Fran wrote a new description of her duties as a Directory Operator that described her being selected out of 100 Directory Operators to provide specialized Customer Service to the Governor's Office and Political Dignitaries in the Washington State Capitol now that information begins to change our image of Fran doesn't it? That makes her sound much more like someone being able to command $33,000. Which sounds like a better match for the $33,000 Corporate Customer Service Representative goal her old job title of Directory Operator or a skill heading like Customer Service Representative to State of Washington Account. In Fran's actual resume we used the heading of Customer Service Representative but you can see how you can play with skill headings to control and elevate your image this is one strategy I explain in detail with examples throughout my book, Proven Resumes: Strategies That Have Increased Salaries, and one of the strongest things I can offer you as a resume writer just in case you don't have the time or patience to write your own.

Receptionist
to Office Management
You’ll see a small section from the new resume Frank created. Does his new resume present him at a much higher salary level? Do you now believe he can handle more responsibility?
Frank was able to develop these new headings by using my booklet, Proven Resumes: Strategies That Have Increased Salaries and Changed Lives!. It includes over 2,500 skills and sample sentence lists for 22 industries including a skill and sample sentence list for Administrative positions. Since many job seekers have held a variety of jobs from diverse industries, almost every job seeker finds at least 2 skill lists that match their backgrounds. Also included in the booklet are 12 Questions that I’ve developed to help job seekers create powerful content--as Frank’s new resume illustrates. The booklet provides worksheets that guide job seekers in listing their skills and using ads and job descriptions to identify key words that will grab the employer’s attention. I recommend this booklet as an excellent resource for those wanting to advance to a higher level, moving from general office, reception, secretary or office management into higher positions in the $20,000 to $70,000 range. It contains dozens of examples written for these positions and shows you how to maximize the best of the skills you've gained and use them to land higher paying positions.
