I think it is important for candidates to list specific business accomplishments at each job and not just general job duties.

I also find it helpful to have the candidates list which business problems/processes they have been working on. It is easy to say inventory reduction of X, but how did you accomplish it (VMI, supplier visibility, etc.)?

I already do the first, and I think I do it well. Judge for yourself. As for the second, I “sort of” do it in my blog posts, but I should probably look at a way to link my resume to supporting blog posts that go into depth. For the HTML resume, at least.

So, I am currently UNDERemployed in a company with stagnant growth. In fact, I have little work to do during a typical day. I yearn for challenges that will allow me to showcase my management, analytical, and problem-solving abilities. I would love to stay in manufacturing, but I believe my talents work well in other industries and the challenge of proving my case would be most welcome.

My specific experience includes:

• Market Research, Analysis, & Communications for major electronics manufacturers in the Aerospace & Defense industry.
• Supply Chain Management, Materials Management, Inventory Analysis & Control, and Production Control for electronics manufacturers.
• Direct sales experience at the retail and consulting levels.
