Simplifying science by selling the features of medical equipment to physicians and lab leaders
January 2019
Quantifying accomplishments on resume
< 1 min reading time

I work at University of Michigan and want to work in medical devices in some capacity. I have many years training world class physicians, lab leaders and students on how to operate million dollar instruments in a fee for service lab. I also promote the features and benefits of using the instruments and sell the idea on becoming trained on how to operate them.

When it comes to quantifying accomplishments on resume I become flummoxed on what to quantify or I need possible suggestions on what to quantify. Thanks in advance. Sean

Sean, your LinkedIn profile is more important than your resume and the top of your page more important than the bottom. Look at your current profile with an objective eye. Would you give that person a chance?

I'll send you a direct message but this is the kind of service Janet Andrews provides. You might consider reaching out to her.

Accomplishments are key for your resume, LI profile and in the interview. To start, I recommend writing out your top 10-15 from the last 10 years in the CAR (Challenge Action Results) format. The "Results" part of that equation is typically used to quantify outcomes with numbers, dollars and percentages, though any part of the CAR can include them.

If you don't have numbers to back up your success stories, you can still have a positive result/outcome/benefit to the company or client, such as improving / streamlining a process, resolving / preventing issues, increasing morale, improving workflow, ensuring quality, motivating teams, improving productivity, etc.

The bottom line is that accomplishments are a differentiator, and they demonstrate the measurable, quantitative and qualitative impact you had on an organization, distinguishing you from the competition.

We're involved in medical devices and just down the road from you in Saline, MI. I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but I'd be happy to meet up for coffee to discuss more. Connect with me on LinkedIn and we can go from there.
