This article describes 10 ways to present your experience and substantiate professional achievements — the list was compiled on budni.robota.ua. The tips are suitable for a range of specialities: from recruiters and managers to analysts and marketers.
Describe case studies with a ‘before — after’ approach
It’s recommended to select work situations you improved and briefly describe the starting point, the actions you took and the outcome you achieved. If you worked as part of a team, note your individual contribution.
For a single case, a few sentences are enough; state the period over which the result was achieved and specific metrics where possible.
Support results with numbers, presentations and dashboards
Back achievements with numbers: sales growth, reduced delivery time or shorter response times. Indicate the period over which the result was achieved; if the company prohibits publishing internal data, use agreed percentages or approximate values.
Add the most illustrative slides, reports or screenshots of dashboards from Power BI, Looker Studio or Excel and briefly explain their purpose. If real data cannot be disclosed, create a demo example using fictitious figures.
Templates, testimonials, training projects and portfolio formats
Include useful templates and documents (checklists, instructions, scripts), briefly explaining who they are intended for. If the originals belong to a company, prepare similar samples without internal data.
Add client and colleague testimonials, but before publishing ask for permission to use the testimonial and the author’s name. For those with limited experience, training projects are suitable: mark them as training and describe the tools used and your approach.
Public materials — articles, webinars, presentations — can also be added as examples of expertise. Suitable portfolio formats include LinkedIn, Notion or PDF: choose 3−5 of your best works, add a short description of the task, your responsibilities and the result, and check that all files and links open correctly.
