As I was helping a friend re-write her resume this evening, it occurred to me that knowing the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) preferences of the interviewer can be a significant advantage in the job search process.
In this particular instance, my friend knew the interviewer was an ISTJ which is exceedingly helpful. I was able to structure her resume in terms of statistics, facts, and percentages. Fluffy language will do nothing to impress an ISTJ. If anything, the more verbose the resume, the less likely the ISTJ will pay attention. We focused on specific deliverable and accomplishments she achieved recently. At all times we made the successes quantifiable- something that ISTJ’s love.
