The achievements of Sam Spritzer

Following is a small sample of the more comprehensive report development efforts. These would be in addition to the standard bricks and mortar reports that I have developed. All told, I probably developed over 1000 reports in my lifetime.

    Hi Sam,
    Something for you to consider (and the same thing goes for resumes): do recruiters and hiring managers really want to know what you’ve done or how what you’ve done has helped them (e.g., saved time, reduced costs, moved a process along). My mentors have always pushed me to the latter; the former is mechanical, the latter is creative).

    Stay well!
    Eric

    Eric…Both. It is a lot easier for them to discern the “what you’ve done” and that can be easily quantified in your resume. For a report developer, they first look to the level and amount of experience because they want to make sure you can satisfy the user’s requirements. It is only after I get in that they see the added value I bring to the table. And then they start telling me their “pains” which gives me the opportunity to demonstrate the “how what you’ve done has helped them”.
    Make sense?
