The name of the game is "services"...


As August is quickly coming to a close, we continue to see a movement within our client base towards "services". This is not new but the intensity of acquiring the right talent around services offerings has never been greater. Whether the focus be Managed Services, Professional Services, Consulting, Outsourcing, or all the above, the movement is strong at the moment.

Wtih that said, I suggest organizing your resume specifically around what services you either helped introduce to the market, sold effectively, and or supported within your previous employer. Also, highlight the financial impact that your services responsibility had on a previous employer's results including top line growth, impact on companies revenue mix, profit margin, etc. This WILL be well received by most hiring authorities.

Do you see the same movement? Tell us more,

Rick

I agree. The demand for people with specialized services in their background is continuing to rise. Companies are looking for individuals that are skilled at selling new technology, and more importantly those that have done so successfully. Also, to your point on showing the financial impact that your employment brought to their organization- that is key. Companies only want to hire people that will provide them the best ROI.
