The job seeker has only three minutes to interest a potential employer. How to write a resume so that you get an invitation for an interview?
There comes a time when a person is faced with finding or changing jobs. For successful employment, you will need a resume - a business card, a self-presentation, according to which a potential employer will make his first opinion about you. How to make your resume attractive and interesting?
1. Create an individual resume for each vacancy. The main rule is that the name of the vacancy for which you are applying must be identical to the one that the employer has announced. When specifying the data in the section "work experience", inform about those positions that correspond to the declared vacancy. It's great if you are a specialist in different fields. But this brings chaos to the resume and the employer will not understand what kind of job you are applying for at the moment.
2. Post a photo. Often employers will ask you to attach a photo to your resume. This request should not be neglected. Successful resume and successful job search depend on successful photography. Choose a photo that is pleasant and positive, and avoid being gloomy. In the photo and in life, you must be recognizable and similar. Give up bright makeup and intricate hairstyles, full-length photos. A standard 3 by 4 ID photo is best.
3. Tailor your resume for a specific job. When describing your knowledge, skills and abilities, use the words indicated by the employer in the declared vacancy. A personnel manager, a personnel officer selects an employee according to specific words, characteristics from his list. If the necessary qualities coincide, your candidacy has a chance of being approved for an interview.
4. Indicate work experience. Even if you are a jack of all trades and know how to do almost everything, only indicate the experience that relates to the desired position. Indicate work experience, starting from the last job, in reverse chronological order. Do not forget to mark the name of the organization, company, designate the scope and period of work, the scope of your responsibilities and the results achieved.
5. Avoid unnecessary information. Don't overload your resume with unnecessary information. Age and number of children, passport data, exact address of registration or registration, the presence of real estate or pets, personal hobbies - this information is completely superfluous and unacceptable for a resume. Be strict and concise.
6. Be literate. Avoid misspellings and typos. Check texts, use a dictionary, pay attention to red underlines in a computer program. Correct mistakes, build sentences correctly. A misspelled resume will go to the trash bin faster than an employer reads it to the end.
7. Decide on the size of your salary. Salary is what people are looking for a job for. Avoiding this question, playing hide and seek is absolutely not beneficial to you and does not make sense. Determine for yourself the amount for which you are willing to work. Feel free to put it on your resume. Especially if the employer has not indicated the amount of remuneration in the vacancy.
8. Stick to a formal business style. A resume is a business document. There is no room for jokes or sarcasm. Leave humor for your circle of friends. List people who can recommend you. This could be a person from your previous job. If you are looking for a job for the first time, then a university teacher or head of practice can also be your referrals.
9. Write the truth. The resume can be embellished. But you should not report knowingly false information. The truth will quickly open up, and you will lose your position before you have time to prove yourself as a specialist.
The listed information is enough for a competent resume. Additional information that you want to communicate to the employer, you can convey to him at the interview.
