Power Statments

A power statement is a statement that highlights one of your skills. for example " I am a skilled ISO auditor, I have bee the lead auditor for MyCompany for ten years where we have identified and reduced on non conformance reports by 20% each year." Another way to look at, and construct a power statement is by using the acronym PAR (Problem - Action - Result). By constructing a power statement using this process it is easy for a interviewer to see how you could be an asset to their business. Here is a sample of a power statement using the PAR method. (Problem) Our return material rate is too high. (Action) Improved our outgoing inspection process by evaluating the defect codes and implemented an inspection plan to focus on our highest percentage error point. (Result) By catching the errors before the product was shipped we were able to reduce our returned material percentage by 33%. With this example you can see how a power statement like this will put emphasis on your problem skills. Here is a link to another site that speaks of Power Statements. Happy Job Hunting.
