1. What are achievements?
Achievement: Any activity, action or task that is accomplished or attained successfully through effort and skill.
Achievements can be divided into two main categories:
1) Personal: received awards, won competitions, achieved high grades in studies, volunteering, participating in sporting events, etc.
2) Professional: saved the company time and money, increased performance, facilitated growth, met and exceeded work targets, etc.
They do not include:
Performing daily tasks and activities
Performing a job’s standard duties
Personality traits (e.g. being friendly, helpful, etc.)
2. The benefits of including your achievements on your CV
1 – Past performance can be an indication of future performance
Your personal attainments tell prospective employers a lot about you.
There is a well-known saying which states:
“If you want to predict someone’s future, look at their past.”
An employer will look at your achievements on your CV and think to themselves, “Here’s an individual who has achieved great things in the past; they are obviously capable of accomplishing more great things in the future – for us!”
2 – Employers prefer candidates with
accomplishment-based CVs
You are more likely to be invited for a job interview if your CV is focused on your achievements, rather than on your duties or responsibilities.
According to interesting research conducted by the authors of “Brilliant CV: What employers want to see & how to say it”, the applicants with achievement-focused CVs were three times more likely to be shortlisted for job interviews compared to candidates with duties-focused CVs!
