The applicant has only three minutes to interest the potential employer. How to create a resume so as to get an invitation to an interview?
There comes a time when a person is faced with a job search or job change. For successful employment, you will need a resume - a business card, self-presentation, according to which a potential employer will make your first opinion about you. How to make a resume attractive and interesting?
1. Create an individual resume for each vacancy. The main rule is that the name of the vacancy that you apply for must be identical to the one declared by the employer. Specifying the data in the "work experience" section, inform about those positions that correspond to the declared vacancy. It’s great if you are an expert in various 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 the employer asks to attach a photograph to the resume. Do not neglect this request. Successful resumes and successful job searches depend on successful photography. Choose a nice and positive photo, avoid gloom. In the photo and in life you should be recognizable and similar. Refuse bright makeup and intricate hairstyles, full-length photos. A standard photo for 3 by 4 documents is best.
3. Adapt your resume to a specific vacancy. Describing your knowledge, skills, use the words that the employer indicated in the declared vacancy. HR manager, personnel officer selects an employee for specific words, characteristics from his list. If the necessary qualities coincide, your candidacy has a chance of being approved for an interview.
4. Indicate your work experience. Even if you are a jack of all trades and know how to do almost everything, indicate only the experience that relates to the desired position. Indicate work experience, starting from the last workplace, in reverse chronological order. Do not forget to mention the name of the organization, company, indicate the scope and period of work, the scope of your responsibilities and the results achieved.
5. Avoid unnecessary information. Do not upload resumes with unnecessary information. Age and number of children, passport data, the exact address of registration or registration, the presence of real estate in the property or pets, personal hobbies - the information is completely superfluous and unacceptable for a resume. Stay strict and concise.
6. Be literate. Avoid spelling mistakes and typos. Check the texts, use the dictionary, pay attention to the red underscores in the computer program. Correct mistakes, build sentences competently. A spelling mistake will go to the basket faster than the employer has read it to the end.
7. Decide on the amount of wages. Salary is what people are looking for work for. Avoiding this issue, playing hide and seek is completely unprofitable for you and does not make sense. Determine for yourself the amount for which you are ready to work. Feel free to list it in your resume. Especially if the employer has not indicated the amount of remuneration in the vacancy.
8. Adhere to a formal business style. Resume is a business document. There is no room for jokes or sarcasm. Leave humor to a circle of friends. Indicate people who can give you a recommendation. This may be the person from your previous job. If you are looking for a job for the first time, then a university teacher or practice leader can also be your referral.
9. Write the truth. Summary can be embellished. But knowingly false information should not be reported. The truth will open quickly, and you will lose your job before you have time to prove yourself as a specialist.
The listed information is sufficient for a competent resume. Additional data that you wish to inform the employer, you can convey to him at the interview.
