The largest brokerage in the United States reported $17.7 billion dollars in revenue at a 30.5 gross margin. That means roughly a $5 Billion spread. They collected 17.7 Billion from Shippers then turned around and paid Carriers about $12 Billion So Did they overcharge shippers? Or Underpay carriers? Or are the numbers just right?

Resume Mastery: How to Sell Your Achievements and Stand Out In today's competitive job market, a well-crafted resume is crucial to getting noticed. But what's the secret to making yours stand out? It's all about selling your achievements, not just listing your job duties. The Problem with Traditional Resumes Traditional resumes often read like a laundry list of job responsibilities. They're boring, generic, and fail to showcase the value you bring to the table. Recruiters and hiring managers are inundated with these types of resumes, making it hard for them to distinguish between candidates. The Solution: Focus on Achievements So, what's the solution? Focus on achievements, not duties! Instead of saying "Managed a team", say "Managed a team of 5, resulting in a 20% increase in productivity and a 15% reduction in turnover rate within 6 months". See the difference? Why Achievements Matter Achievements are the key to showcasing your value. They're what set you apart from other candidates and demonstrate your ability to deliver results. - Showcase your impact and contributions - Demonstrate your skills and expertise - Stand out from the competition - Increase your chances of getting noticed How to Identify Your Achievements 1. Reflect on your experiences: Think about your previous roles and accomplishments. What did you achieve? 2. Quantify your results: Use numbers and metrics to demonstrate the impact you made. 3. Focus on outcomes: Instead of focusing on tasks, focus on the outcomes you achieved. Common Mistakes to Avoid - Being too vague: Avoid being too vague about your achievements. - Not quantifying results: Failing to quantify your results makes it hard to demonstrate your impact. - Focusing on duties: Focusing on duties instead of achievements makes your resume look generic. Conclusion Selling your achievements is the key to standing out in today's competitive job market. By focusing on achievements, you'll be able to showcase your value, demonstrate your skills, and increase your chances of getting noticed.
