I am a grant writer with five years of experience. I am updating my resume (I'm not looking for a job, just like to have an updated version handy) and I need some suggestions on how to create an "Accomplishments" section. I've read many times that effective resumes don't just list job responsibilities, but also accomplishments. How can a grant writer list accomlishments, which I assume would most often be the amount of money raised through grants, without prospective employers looking at it as some sort of guarantee that we can raise a certain amount of money for them too? I'm wondering if people list the amount of money they raised while at an organization, or write that they met the budget goal for grants, or something else? Or are there other accomplishments besides the amount raised that a grant writer might list on a resume?
